Abstract
We apply time-domain diffuse correlation spectroscopy (TD DCS) to quantify dynamics in a two-layer turbid phantom, where the top layer contains purely static, while bottom layer contains only dynamic scatterers. We demonstrate that the standard TD DCS processing is incapable to properly quantify dynamics at short source-detector distances (<1 cm) due to strong influence of the static layer. To solve this problem we introduce a novel model accompanied by the numerical noise-correction, which allows to properly recover the autocorrelation decay of the dynamic homogeneous medium hidden by the static turbid layer. Our approach can be thus beneficial for DCS applications in samples with mixed dynamics.
