Optical property measurements on blood are influenced by a large variety of factors of both
physical and methodological origin. The aim of this review is to list these factors of influence …

We determine the optical properties of whole blood samples in the near infrared spectral
range from double integrating sphere measurements using an inverse Monte Carlo …

Knowledge about the optical properties a, s, and g of human blood plays an important role
for many diagnostic and therapeutic applications in laser medicine and medical diagnostics …

We investigated the impact of the scattering phase function approximation on the optical
properties of whole human blood determined from integrating sphere measurements using …

The optical parameters absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, and the anisotropy
factor of platelets (PLTs) suspended in plasma and cell-free blood plasma are determined …

The intrinsic optical parameters absorption coefficient μ a, scattering coefficient μ s,
anisotropy factor g, and effective scattering coefficient μ s′ were determined for human red …

Because the refractive index of hemoglobin in the visible range is sensitive to the
hemoglobin concentration, optical investigations of hemoglobin are important for medical …

The refractive index of blood is a key biophysical parameter, which can reflect the
physiological state. We measured the refractive index of whole blood and other components …

The absorption coefficient μ a, scattering coefficient μ s, and anisotropy factor g of diluted
and undiluted human blood (hematocrit 0.84 and 42.1%) are determined under flow …

Two important optical properties of red blood cells (RBCs), their microscopic scattering cross
sections σs, and the mean cosine of their scattering angles μ¯, contribute to the optical …
