Does the photon-diffusion coefficient depend on absorption?
Does the photon-diffusion coefficient depend on absorption? is a scholarly work, published in 1997 in ''Journal of the Optical Society of America'' and ''Journal of the Optical Society of America. A''. The main subjects of the publication include physics, thermography, diffusion, Radiative transfer equation and diffusion theory for photon transport in biological tissue, statistical physics, Monte Carlo method for photon transport, materials science, optics, Photons, computational physics, photon, Photon diffusion, biomedical engineering, Monte Carlo method, two-photon absorption, photoacoustic imaging, absorption, and attenuation coefficient. The authors investigate the controversy over the precise form of the photon diffusion coefficient and suggest that it is largely independent of absorption, i.e., Do = v/3mu(s)'.
