Peculiarities of diffuse reflectance of polarized light from anisotropic media: simulation results

摘要

Monte-Carlo technique is applied to study the light transport from a localized light source in layered multiple scattering media with the expressed macroscopic anisotropy of underlying layers. The shape and orientation of the equal intensity profiles and the pathlength distributions of backscattered light are analyzed in the dependence on the distance between the source and detection point. Obtained results are compared with the experimental results obtained by other authors in the experiments with tissue phantoms and in-vivo human and mouse skin.
