Optical constants of animal and plant tissues were measured over a wide spectral range
using an integrating sphere spectrophotometer. The data were analyzed with two …

A system is described and evaluated for noninvasive measurement of the scattering and
absorption coefficients of tissue in the 600 to 850-nm range. An arc lamp/monochromator …

We show that optical properties of dense biological tissues can be determined from
backscattered power curves measured by a low-coherence reflectometer. Our measurement …

Extensive research in biomedical optics essentially requires the determination of optical
properties of various biological tissues. Quantitative characterization of biological tissues in …

The calibration of optical tissue-simulating phantoms remains an open question in spite of
the many techniques proposed for accurate measurements of optical properties. As a …

Spatially resolved reflectance measurements are widely used for determination of the optical
properties of biological media. However, the influence of the phase function on these …

I use Monte Carlo simulations and phantom measurements to characterize a probe with
adjacent optical fibres for diffuse reflectance spectroscopy during stereotactic surgery in the …

Though the optics of red blood cells as well as whole blood has been studied extensively,
an effective scattering phase function for whole blood is still needed. The interference of …

We demonstrate a method to estimate the concentrations of water and lipid in scattering
media such as biological tissues with diffuse optical spectra acquired over the range of 900 …

Localized spectroscopic measurements of optical properties are invaluable for diagnostic
applications that involve layered tissue structures, but conventional spectroscopic …
