The results are consistent with a dominant contribution to tissue scattering from small cellular or intercellular constituents such as mitochondria. The early arriving transmitted fraction of short optical pulses is calculated using both a diffusion approximation, and a Monte Carlo solution of the transport problem. Both predict enhancement of this transmission as the incident wavelength is changed from 700 nm to 1300 nm. However, the Monte Carlo solution predicts a much larger enhancement, showing strong disagreement with the diffusion result for early arriving photons at all tissue depths greater than a few millimeters.","PeriodicalId":368664,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Optical Imaging and Photon Migration","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127827957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information on the dynamical properties of turbid media may be obtained from the temporal fluctuations of light fields emanating from the media. In this contribution, we demonstrate that variations in temporal correlation functions of the temporal intensity fluctuations of different speckles of light can be used to derive information about the spatially varying dynamical properties of turbid media. We first present a diffusion for the temporal correlation function for systems where the dynamics are governed by Brownian motion and shear and random flow. We demonstrate the validity of the correlation diffusion for heterogeneous systems by comparing the theoretical results with experimental results for systems governed by different dynamical processes, e.g. flow. As an illustration of the usefulness of this correlation technique to biomedical optics, we discuss the application of this technique to diagnosing the thickness of burned tissue. The correlation diffusion is an important, unique tool for analyzing the complex dynamical signals that arise from heterogeneous biological systems.","PeriodicalId":368664,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Optical Imaging and Photon Migration","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127925331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is an interference effect that survives over length scales much larger than the mean free path, and arises from the time reversal symmetry of the wavelets scattered in the backscattering direction. In the exact backscattering direction, counter propagating wavelets will interfere constructively, while sufficiently far away from this direction phase differences wash out the interference effect. The result is a cone of enhanced backscattering which has a width of the order of λ/ℓ, where λ is the wavelength and ℓ is the (transport) mean free path.","PeriodicalId":368664,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Optical Imaging and Photon Migration","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133527029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
