Solid homogeneous turbid phantoms can be employed to mimic the attenuation and angular
distribution of light emerging from tissue, eg, to assess the responsivity of the detection …

In this thesis, different optical methods utilising visible light for characterization of tissue have
been developed and evaluated. The feasibility of many of these methods has been …

We examine the optical properties of native and coagulated human liver tissues in vitro at
four different wavelengths of argon ion laser, 476.5, 488, 496.5 and 514.5 nm, and the …

We compare two methods for the optical characterization of turbid media. The estimates of
the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients (μ_a and μs′) by a spatially resolved …

This report presents a proposal of a new technique to estimate the cross-sectional
absorption distribution of turbid media from backscattered light by solving a nonlinear …

Two systems for measurements of absorption and scattering properties, based on
picosecond-pulse lasers and singlephoton counting detection, were characterized using a …

We fit different analytical models to the OCT signal obtained from scattering Intralipid
solutions in order to extract the scattering coefficient. These models are based on both …

The purpose of this study was to investigate how the geometry of a fiber optic probe affects
the transmission and reflection of light through the scleral eye wall. Two geometrical …

Typically, a diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) system employing a continuous wave
light source would need to acquire diffuse reflectances measured at multiple source-detector …

Weighted residuals and the reduced χ^ 2 (χ_R^ 2) value are investigated with regard to their
relevance for assessing optical property estimates using the diffusion equation for time …
