We develop a superficial diffusing probe with a 3 mm source-detector separation that can be
used in combination with diffuse optical spectroscopic (DOS) methods to noninvasively …

Calibration of the diffuse reflectance spectrum for instrument response and time-dependent
fluctuation as well as interdevice variations is complicated, time consuming, and potentially …

In a routine procedure for collecting human skin spectra using fiber optic diffuse reflectance
spectroscopy, the fiber optic probe is put gently in contact with the skin surface. The purpose …

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) with a fiber-optic probe can noninvasively quantify
the optical properties of epithelial tissues and has shown the potential as a cost-effective …

We present a compact, fast, and versatile fiber-optic probe system for real-time
determination of tissue optical properties from spatially resolved continuous-wave diffuse …

Steady-state diffuse reflection spectroscopy is a well-studied optical technique that can
provide a noninvasive and quantitative method for characterizing the absorption and …
