REVERSE MONTE CARLO SIMULATIONS OF LIGHT PULSE PROPAGATION IN NONHOMOGENEOUS MEDIA - PART II: NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS
ABSTRACT
In the Part II of this study, the reverse Monte Carlo algorithm was applied to one-dimensional, multi-layer media. The time-resolved reflectance exhibits a direct correlation between the signal magnitude and the travel time to the layer interface if the ballistic photons encounter a strongly scattering layer. Furthermore, it is found that even with a symmetric radiative property distribution in a three-layer medium, the reflectance and transmittance signals do not converge at long time when the mid-layer is optically thick. The long time slope of the temporal signal does not provide the specificity required for an inverse analysis parameter as stipulated by earlier studies.
