The refractive index of human skin tissues is an important parameter in characterizing the
optical response of the skin. We extended a previously developed method of coherent …

We constructed an automated reflectometry system for accurate measurement of coherent
reflectance curves of turbid samples and analyzed the presence of coherent and diffuse …

Using a spectrophotometer with an internal integrating sphere, the absorption (μ a) and
reduced scattering (μ s′) coefficients of in vitro epidermis were evaluated from reflectance …

A three-layered skin model (stratum corneum, epidermis, and dermis) and engineering
formulas for radiative transfer theory are used to study absorption spectra and light …

The optical properties of human skin, subcutaneous adipose tissue and human mucosa
were measured in the wavelength range 400–2000 nm. The measurements were carried out …

A new non-invasive method to measure the optical properties of biological tissue is
described. This method consists of illuminating the investigated sample with light which is …

We introduce a method with which to obtain accurately the bulk optical parameters of fresh
biological tissues in vitro by combining measurements of the sample surface profiles …

We present results on the retrieval of skin optical properties obtained by fitting of
measurements of the diffuse reflectance of human skin. Reflectance spectra are simulated …

We develop a superficial diffusing probe with a 3 mm source-detector separation that can be
used in combination with diffuse optical spectroscopic (DOS) methods to noninvasively …

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 …
