Abstract

The density of photon spatial weight distribution for an optically turbid highly scattering homogeneous medium is considered. It turns out that the boundary of the half-infinite non-absorbing multiple scattering medium divided the escaped photons into two roughly mirror symmetrical groups. This allows to include the partial photon reflection and refraction on the boundaries of the medium or medium layers in the calculation of the spatial photon density distribution for complex optically turbid highly scattering multi-layered media
