This paper provides an overview of the principles and theory of measuring optical properties
of biological materials. It then presents the instrumentation and data analysis procedures for …

In both photoacoustic (PA) and ultrasonic (US) imaging, overall image quality is influenced
by the optical and acoustical properties of the medium. Consequently, with the increased …

Soluble solids (SS) in fruit are mainly composed of soluble sugars. This research aims to
further the understanding of the detection mechanism of soluble solid content (SSC) based …

The dependent scattering effect (DSE), which arises from the wave nature of
electromagnetic radiation, is a critical mechanism affecting the radiative properties of …

A supercontinuum laser based double integrating sphere setup in combination with an
unscattered transmittance measurement setup was developed and carefully validated for …

Microplastics act as a source of organic contaminants in aquatic environments and thus
affect their environmental fate and toxicity. Because of the weak and reversible interactions …

The implementation of optical sensor technology to monitor the milk quality on dairy farms
and milk processing plants would support the early detection of altering production …

One of the major issues of fresh blueberry production is the excessive bruising caused by
mechanical impact during harvesting and packaging, which substantially lowers fruit quality …

Absorption and reduced scattering coefficients were measured between 400 and 1050 nm
for 'Royal Gala'apples using the inverse adding-doubling technique. Relationships between …

Accurate measurement of optical absorption coefficients from photoacoustic imaging (PAI)
data would enable direct mapping of molecular concentrations, providing vital clinical …
