title: Chemical analysis of molecular species through turbid medium.
abstract: Subsurface analysis of chemical species is imperative for biomedical diagnostics and imaging, homeland security, and pharmaceutical and other industries; however, the access to the object of interest is often obscured by an optically scattering medium which limits the ability to inspect the chemical composition of the sample. In this report, we employ coherent Raman microspectroscopy in a combination with a hierarchical cluster analysis to mitigate the effect of scattering and demonstrate the identification of multiple chemical species.
