Study on the Photosynthetic Efficiency of the Cinnamomum camphora Leaves by Using Photo-Acoustic Tomography Spectroscopy Technology

摘要

By using a new kind of single-beam normalized photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy (PAS-CT) technology with non-damage detection, the photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy, optical absorption properties and photosynthetic pigment content of the green and yellow leaves of Cinnamomum camphora were studied. The results show that: photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy could be obtained from different chopping frequency and different sample position. The more photosynthetic pigment content the leaves of Cinnamomum camphora contains, the bigger optical absorption coefficient and the higher photosynthetic efficiency they have. In the research, we could find that the photosynthetic pigment content of the green leaves of Cinnamomum camphora is higher than that of the red ones. As a result, the optical absorption coefficient and the photosynthetic efficiency of the green ones are higher than the red ones. The photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy technology could be a kind of non-damage detection to confirm the growth of trees.
