Effects of scattering particle concentration on light propagation through turbid media

Experimental study and computer simulation of light propagation in turbid media with different concentration of scattering particles are described. Gel phantoms with adding of Intralipid-20 percent as a model of living tissue have been investigated. Experimental results have shown existing of transmittance and reflectance saturation in dependence on volume fraction of the scatterers. The inverse adding- doubling method and Rayleigh-Gans approximation of the Mie theory were applied to describe the light propagation. The explanation of the experimental results is presented.
