Light diffusion in a radially N-layered cylinder.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analytical solutions of the diffusion equation for a radially N-layered cylinder were derived in the steady-state, frequency, and time domains. Solutions for axially infinite and finite cylinders are presented. The derived formulas were compared to a known solution of the diffusion equation for a layered semi-infinite geometry and to Monte Carlo simulations, showing excellent and good agreement, respectively. The analytical solutions were applied to calculate the light propagation in models of the forearm and the finger, demonstrating the improvement in analysis of hemodynamics measurements compared to the formulas used so far.

Light diffusion in a turbid cylinder. II. Layered case.
This paper is the second of two dealing with light diffusion in a turbid cylinder. The diffusion equation was solved for an N-layered finite cylinder. Solutions are given in the steady-state, frequency, and time domains for a point beam incident at an arbitrary position of the first layer and for a circular flat beam incident at the middle of the cylinder top. For special cases the solutions we...
متن کاملFDTD Analysis of Top-Hat Monopole Antennas Loaded with Radially Layered Dielectric
Top-hat monopole antennas loaded with radially layered dielectric are analyzed using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Unlike the mode-matching method (MMM) (which was previously used for analyzing these antennas) the FDTD method enables us to study such structures accurately and easily. Using this method, results can be obtained in a wide frequency band by performing only one ti...
متن کاملElastic-Plastic Transition of Pressurized Functionally Graded Orthotropic Cylinder using Seth’s Transition Theory
In this paper the radial deformation and the corresponding stresses in a functionally graded orthotropic hollow cylinder with the variation in thickness and density according to power law and rotating about its axis under pressure is investigated by using Seth's transition theory. The material of the cylinder is assumed to be non-homogeneous and orthotropic. This theory helps to achieve better ...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Axisymmetric Electromechanical Response of Piezoelectric, Functionally Graded and Layered Composite Cylinders
A mixed semi-analytical cum numerical approach is presented in this paper which accounts for the coupled mechanical and electrical response of piezoelectric, functionally graded (FG) and layered composite hollow circular cylinders of finite length. Under axisymmetric mechanical and electrical loadings, the three-dimensional problem (3D) gets reduced to a two-dimensional (2D) plane strain proble...
متن کاملHybrid diffusion-P3 equation in N-layered turbid media: steady-state domain.
This paper discusses light propagation in N-layered turbid media. The hybrid diffusion-P3 equation is solved for an N-layered finite or infinite turbid medium in the steady-state domain for one point source using the extrapolated boundary condition. The Fourier transform formalism is applied to derive the analytical solutions of the fluence rate in Fourier space. Two inverse Fourier transform m...
