We investigate whether a modified Lorentz\u2013Lorenz relation, motivated by electromagnetic theory, can reduce these deviations and restore approximate linearity in binary mixtures. Using benzene\u2013toluene and benzene\u2013cyclohexane as model systems, we evaluate linearity through RMSE metrics, hybrid 2D-correlation analysis, asynchronous residual sums of squares, and complex-valued classical least squares (CLS) regression. While correlation-based measures provide qualitative insights, they fail to reliably identify optimal linearization parameters. In contrast, CLS in the Lorentz\u2013Lorenz\u2013transformed domain, particularly with systematic-error correction, yields clear minima and substantially improves prediction accuracy, reducing mean absolute errors by more than a factor of three relative to the Beer\u2013Lambert domain. These results demonstrate that the modified Lorentz\u2013Lorenz transformation provides a physics-informed chemometric domain in which spectral mixing becomes more linear. The approach suggests extending inverse least square regression, principal component regression, and partial least squares regression into this domain to further enhance quantitative mixture analysis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00037028261454699","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]],"date-time":"2026-05-26T07:51:37Z","timestamp":1779781897000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Reducing Non-Linearity in Spectral Evaluation via a Modified Lorentz\u2013Lorenz Relation"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9396-7365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas G.","family":"Mayerh\u00f6fer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (IPHT)"},{"name":"Friedrich Schiller University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0081-4739","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isao","family":"Noda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Delaware"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4257-593X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J\u00fcrgen","family":"Popp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (IPHT)"},{"name":"Friedrich Schiller University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","volume-title":"Essai d'Optique sur la Gradation de la Lumiere, par M.
