When a picosecond light pulse is incident on biological tissue, the temporal characteristics
of the light backscattered from, or transmitted through, the sample carry information about …

Using optical interaction coefficients typical of mammalian soft tissues in the red and near
infrared regions of the spectrum, calculations of fluence-depth distributions, effective …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been investigated extensively in the laboratory for
decades, and for over 25 years in the clinical environment, establishing it as a useful …

This project had two main objectives. The first of these was to design and construct a
spectroscopic instrument to monitor small changes in optical transmission across an infant's …

Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that covers a wide range of wavelengths, λ.
Between electromagnetic radio wavelengths in the meter (m) range to gamma rays with …

We have demonstrated a personal identification system that is based on near-infrared finger
vein patterns. Finger vein patterns of 678 volunteers are acquired by transmitting near …

For pt. I see ibid., vol. 36, no. 12, p. 1162-8 (1989). Measurements of the fluence-depth
distributions and the diffuse reflectance of 633-nm light in liquid media with optical …

To analyze the fundamental characteristics of light transmitted through living tissues, we
used the Monte Carlo method to trace the paths of the rays incident upon slabs of particles …

The successful implementation of photodynamic therapy (PDT)‐based regimens depends
on an improved understanding of the dosimetric and biological factors that govern …
