Biophotonics and Optical Biosensors
The absorption coefficient is a parameter that quantifies how much light is absorbed by a medium per unit distance as it travels through that medium. In the context of diffuse optical imaging, this coefficient is crucial for understanding how light interacts with biological tissues, allowing for the evaluation of tissue properties and the development of imaging techniques that can visualize internal structures non-invasively.
congrats on reading the definition of Absorption Coefficient. now let's actually learn it.
