Fiber reflectance spectroscopy is a non-invasive method for diagnosing skin diseases or
evaluating aesthetic efficacy, but it is dependent on the inverse model validity. In this work, a …

We designed a quick and inexpensive system for spectral measurements of optical
properties including absorption coefficient and reduced scattering coefficient. The system …

In this paper, we present the design, fabrication, and testing of a new micromachined fiber
optic sensor probe to conduct oblique incidence diffuse reflectance spectrometry (OIDRS) …

The use of the spectral derivative method in visible and near-infrared optical spectroscopy is
presented, whereby instead of using discrete measurements around several wavelengths …

A diffuse reflectance spectroscopy system was modified as a step towards miniaturization
and spectral imaging of tissue absorption and scattering. The modified system uses a …

The design and characterization of an instrument combining Raman, fluorescence, and
reflectance spectroscopic modalities is presented. Instrument development has targeted skin …

We report on the development of an optical-fiber-based diagnostic tool with which to
determine the local optical properties of a turbid medium. By using a single fiber in contact …

The ability of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to extract quantitative biological composition
of tissues has been used to discern tissue types in both pre-clinical and clinical cancer …

We assess typical systematic experimental errors involved in a time‐resolved measurement
as applied to NIR diffuse optical spectroscopy and investigate their effect on the …
