The Light Propagation in Biological Tissue for Cancer Treatment

Abstract

This paper is to study the accessible depth by photons within biological tissue for Photodynamic Therapy of cancer. For the measurements of light propagation within tissue, we applied the diode Laser of 660nm wavelength and by assuming the medium to be homogeneous, we neglect the effects of any refractive index mismatches between the tissue layers. The result have yielded the penetration depth of light within biological tissue.
