When a diffuse object is illuminated with coherent laser light, the backscattered light will form
an interference pattern on the detector. This pattern of bright and dark areas is called a …

Laser Doppler flowmetry is a non-invasive method of measuring microcirculatory blood flow
in tissue. In this review the technique is discussed in detail. The theoretical and experimental …
