Abstract

The random walk of photons was analyzed in the time domain by measuring the temporal broadening of a laser pulse propagating in a turbid medium. The results of this study can be used to determine the optical properties of biological tissues. To extract the values of absorption and scattering coefficients experienced by the photons, the photon time-distribution must be interpreted using a proper theoretical model. A new concept is proposed based on Monte Carlo simulations which combines the accuracy of a numerical model with the computational efficiency of an analytical approach.
