Determination of Refractive Indices of a Layered Medium under Pulsed Irradiation

Аннотация

Problems related to determination of refractive indices of layered strongly scattering biological media by means of an optical tomography are investigated. Methods of reconstruction of refractive indices of layers, which are based on the smoothness properties of the solution to the initial-boundary problem, are proposed within the framework of the nonstationary radiative-transfer model. The influence of the probe-pulse duration on the accuracy of recovery of the sought-for characteristics of the medium is investigated numerically.
