Light scattering by multiple red blood cells

Abstract: The interaction of light with multiple red blood cells was systematically investigated by the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD). The simulations showed that the lateral multiple scattering between red blood cells is very weak and that the polarization has an almost insignificant influence on the distribution of the scattered light. The numerical results of the FDTD method were compared with the results from the Rytov approximation and the discrete dipole approximation (DDA). The agreement with the DD… Show more

“…These methods have a very similar region of applicability; however, they are rarely used together. In a few published studies either one method is used to validate the other [5,6] or they are compared for a few scatterers [7]. We perform a new comparison, which in two respects is more extended than the previous studies.…”

“…Through a blood layer, bovine fat could not be observed at wavelengths around 1700 nm, because water in blood absorbs strongly in this range, and red blood cells strongly scatter light [25]. Figure 9 shows the optical penetration depth of blood.…”

“…The same RBCs analyzed for panel (b) are studied in panel (d). As λ ¼ 633 nm, n s ¼ 1.406, 47 and n m ¼ 1, the measured phase can be converted in specimen's thickness. Inside the experimental errors, which are in the order of AE0.018 μm, the measured thicknesses for the RBCs placed at different locations in the FOV are the same.…”
