Abstract
The transmission spectra of the most common hyperosmotic agents, such as pure glycerol, propylene glycol (PG), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), polyethylene glycol (PEG) with 200, 300, 400 and 600 Da molecular weights, and their aqueous solutions, as well as aqueous solutions of sucrose, glucose, fructose, dextran 40 and 70 were measured. The experiments were carried out using a THz pulsed spectrometer with a vacuum measuring compartment to reduce the effect of water vapor on spectral measurements. The dielectric properties of hyperosmotic agents were restored in the spectral range from 0.1 to 2.5 THz and the dependence of the amplitude absorption coefficient on the concentration of considered agents at 0.5 THz frequency was constructed. The obtained results make it possible to choose the optimal agents for immersion optical clearing in the THz range.
