  • Title: Light diffusion in a turbid cylinder. II. Layered case.
    Author: Liemert A, Kienle A.
    Journal: Opt Express; 2010 Apr 26; 18(9):9266-79. PubMed ID: 20588774.
    Abstract:
    This paper is the second of two dealing with light diffusion in a turbid cylinder. The diffusion equation was solved for an N-layered finite cylinder. Solutions are given in the steady-state, frequency, and time domains for a point beam incident at an arbitrary position of the first layer and for a circular flat beam incident at the middle of the cylinder top. For special cases the solutions were compared to other solutions of the diffusion equation showing excellent agreement. In addition, the derived solutions were validated by comparison with Monte Carlo simulations. In the time domain we also derived a fast solution ( approximately 10ms) for the case of equal reduced scattering coefficients and refractive indices in all layers.
