Abstract

The main objective of our study was to identify and recover the depth distributions of the backscattering efficiency in macroscopically heterogeneous stratified media. The recovery technique is based on analysis and processing of the backscattering response of an examined medium in the case of its low-coherence reflectometric probing. In our case, the commercially available swept-source OCT system was applied as the instrument for low-coherence reflectometry. The discussed technique was applied to characterization of in-vivo human skin in the normal state and after optical clearing.
