Development of a New Measurement Method Using the Concept of Virtual Light

The physical properties of materials do not have a one-on-one relationship with the structure of a single molecule, because the molecular arrangement plays an important role. For a detailed analysis of molecular arrangement, it is necessary to know the direction of each functional group, the so-called molecular orientation. Recently, I constructed a measurement theory assuming virtual longitudinal-wave light as a method to clarify the molecular orientation using infrared spectroscopy. This measurement was realized in physical light by focusing attention on a new function of a classical formula called regression.
