Abstract
Studies the accessible depth by photons within biological tissue for photodynamic therapy of cancer. For measurements of light propagation within tissue, we applied a diode laser of 660 nm wavelength and by assuming the medium to be homogeneous, we neglect the effects of any refractive index mismatches between the tissue layers. The result have yielded the penetration depth of light within biological tissue.
