Modeling the diffuse reflectance due to a narrow beam incident on a turbid medium

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present a model for the diffuse reflectance when a continuous beam is incident normally on a half space composed of a uniform scattering and absorbing medium. This model is the result of an asymptotic analysis of the radiative transport equation for strong scattering, weak absorption, and a narrow beam width. Through comparison with the diffuse reflectance computed using the numerical solution of the radiative transport equation, we show that this diffuse reflectance model gives results that are accurate for small source–-detector separation distances.
