Abstract

An analytical expression has been obtained that describes the time variation of time-resolved signals transmitted through or reflected by a homogeneous scattering slab as measured with a detection system having a square-impulse response. This expression can be used to improve the match between theoretical and experimental time-resolved signals measured with a system having a finite response time. It can also be used to assess the effect of a finite detection response time on the time-domain characterization of a turbid medium. The expression can be adapted to detection systems that are not time invariant.
