- Indicates the wavelength ranges available within the near-infrared region of various solvents. - Describes cell selection in the near-infrared region.

Introduction

Near-infrared light is widely used for a wide variety of applications because it penetrates various substances and has little effect on the human body. Recently, it has been used for light detection and ranging (LiDAR) applications, which are used in autonomous vehicle driving and cancer photoimmunotherapy. When solutions are measured by spectrophotometry, organic solvents, in particular, have absorption in the near-infrared region, so it is necessary to select a solvent that does not affect the target wavelengths. This article describes confirming the near-infrared wavelength range available for each solvent.
