Depth-resolved measurement of mucosal microvascular blood content using 
low-coherence enhanced backscattering spectroscopy

Abstract: Low-coherence enhanced backscattering (LEBS) spectroscopy is a light scattering technique which uses partial spatial coherence broadband illumination to interrogate the optical properties at sub-diffusion length scales. In this work, we present a post-processing technique which isolates the hemoglobin concentration at different depths within a sample using a single spectroscopic LEBS measurement with a fixed spatial coherence of illumination. We verify the method with scattering (spectralon reflectance standar… Show more

“…18,26 Equation (1) is a generalization of the conventionally known Fourier transform relationship between the enhanced backscattering angular distribution and the spatial distribution of light backscattered from a random medium illuminated by an infinitely narrow collimated beam [ p( r )]. 27,28 Therefore, a simulation of LEBS can be accomplished by utilizing the Monte Carlo method to obtain p( r ) and then applying Eq.…”
