ABSTRACT:
Measuring scattering and absorption properties of a scattering medium according to the following: (a) causing pulsed measuring light having a predetermined wavelength to enter the scattering medium; (b) performing time-resolved measurement of the measuring light having diffusively propagated in the scattering medium at light detection positions corresponding to a plurality of combinations, each comprising a light incidence position on the scattering medium in the first step and a light detection position on the scattering medium where the measuring light entered the scattering medium in the first step and a light detection position on the scattering medium where the measuring light is detected, having different incidence-detection distances between the light incidence position and the light detection position; (c) calculating a plurality of mean optical pathlengths of the measuring light corresponding to the plurality of incidence-detection distances, based on results of the time-resolved measurement measured in the second step; and (d) calculating a scattering coefficient and an absorption coefficient in the scattering medium, based on a plurality of simultaneous relations consisting of calculation values of the plurality of mean optical pathlengths corresponding to the incidence-detection distances, calculated in the third step, and a theoretical equation of the mean optical pathlengths derived in correspondence to light diffusion properties comprising a scattering property and an absorption property in diffusive propagation paths in the scattering medium.
