In Vitro Assessment of Optical Properties of Blood by Applying the Extended Huygens-Fresnel Principle to Time-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Signal at 1300 nm

Figure 3

Best numerical fit with the experimental heterodyne profile is obtained for values of 𝜇=12.15 mm⁻¹ and 𝑔=0.95 for the attenuation coefficient and anisotropy parameter, respectively. The numerical fit is the middle line that follows closely the experimental heterodyne efficiency curve shown in both (a) and (b) parts of the figure. (a) Variations of the numerical fit induced by changes of ±0.7 mm⁻¹ in the attenuation coefficient with the anisotropy scattering factor kept at 𝑔=0.95. (b) Variations in the numerical fit induced by variations of ±0.02 in the scattering anisotropy parameter with the attenuation coefficient kept at 𝜇=12.15 mm⁻¹.
