Among luminescent nanostructures actively investigated in the last couple of decades, rare
earth (RE3+) doped nanoparticles (RENPs) are some of the most reported family of …

A review of reported tissue optical properties summarizes the wavelength-dependent
behavior of scattering and absorption. Formulae are presented for generating the optical …

Meat color is important for consumer acceptability, with excessively dark meat often
associated with consumer rejection. It is determined chromatically by pigment content …

The development of optical methods in modern medicine in the areas of diagnostics,
therapy, and surgery has stimulated the investigation of optical properties of various …

A survey of the literature is presented that provides an analysis of the optical properties of
human skin, with particular regard to their applications in medicine. Included is a description …

Differences in absorption and/or scattering of cancerous and normal skin have the potential
to provide a basis for noninvasive cancer detection. In this study, we have determined and …

In this paper we present the absorption coefficient μa and the isotropic scattering coefficient
μs′ for 22 human skin samples measured using a double integrating sphere apparatus in …

Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT), involves the
use of light from a laser or light-emitting diode (LED) in the treatment of various disorders …

Skin is the outer-most tissue of the human body. As a result, people are very aware of, and
very sensitive to, the appearance of their skin. Consequently, skin appearance has been a …

Diffuse optical imaging (DOI) may be a beneficial diagnostic method for women with
mammographically dense breast tissue. In order to evaluate the utility of DOI, we are …
