Optical penetration depth can be obtained from the measurement of the relative fluencc-depth distribution inside the target tissue. The depth of normal and carcinomatous human lung tissues irradiated with the wavelengths of 406.7, 632.8 and 674.4 nm in vitro are respectively determined. In addition, a novel simple method based on total internal reflection for measuring the refractive index of biotissue in vivo is developed, and the refractive indices of skin from people of different age, sex and skin color are measured. Their refractive indices are almost same and the average is 1.533.展开更多

Analytic expressions of two-dimensional far-field ultrasonic displacements including the effects of thermal diffusion and optical penetration were obtained by means of the integral transform method. The meaning of the expressions is discussed. The effects of optical absorption coefficient on the directivity of laser generated ultrasound in non-metallic solids are also discussed. The directivity patterns of both longitudinal waves and shear waves are presented.展开更多
