Illustration of a bimodal system in Intralipid-20% by polarized light scattering: experiments and modeling

July 23, 2008 | Comments Off

Abstract  Intralipid suspensions behave like phantoms of human tissues concerning their light scattering properties. We present experimental
measurements of the angular distribution of polarized light scattering at various incidence angles on Intralipid-20%. A comparison
of the absolute values of these measurements with simulations using a vector radiative transfer model (N-flux) developed for
multilayered media demonstrates a stratified structure of the samples with a double distribution of the size of scatterers.
This result is confirmed by polarimetry imaging.
