Importance of considering exact boundary conditions of the probe geometry for determination of the optical properties of turbid media

摘要

Light propagation in semi-infinite turbid media is studied in the steady-state domain by taking into account exact boundary conditions at the probe-medium interface. Monte Carlo simulations, considering different probe geometries were performed. In addition, the influence on determination of the reduced scattering and absorption coefficients is outlined by fitting the diffuse reflectance curves with diffusion theory.
