Referenceless Low-Coherence Reflectometry of Random Media under Wide-Band Spectral Selection of Scattered Probe Light

Authors: Isaeva E. A., Isaeva A. A., Zimnyakov D. A.

Background and Objectives: The optical probes of randomly inhomogeneous media, based on analysis of the statistical parameters of the scattered light intensity, are sensitive to optical, structural, and transport parameters of the medium. A promising approach among the low-coherence optical methods is an approach in which the medium is considered as a multi-beam interferometer with randomly distributed values of the path difference of the interfering beams (partial waves).

OPTICAL BIOMEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS

Authors: Tuchin V. V.

This paper presents an overview on optical biomedical diagnostics. It discusses briefly the history of the problem. The main attention is paid to description of the modern methods of optical medical diagnostics based on spectrophotometry, fluorescence, Doppler spectroscopy, elastic, quasi-elastic and Raman scattering spectroscopies, as well as optothermal and optoacoustic effects.
