Optical diffusion in layered media
Abstract
In highly scattering media, light energy fluence rate distributions can be described by diffusion theory. Boundary conditions, appropriate to the diffusion approximation, are derived for surfaces where reflection of diffuse light occurs. Both outer surfaces and interfaces separating media with different indices of refraction can be treated. The diffusion equation together with its boundary conditions is solved using the finite element method. This numerical method allows much freedom of geometry.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
