Abstract :
Using Monte Carlo method to simulating the propagation of terahertz pulse in biological tissue and studying the interaction between the THz radiation and biological tissue. A series of diffuse reflectance curves are presented in this numerical simulation. Examination of these curves reveals that the Time-Domain propagation characteristic of terahertz pulse in biological tissue has strongly relationship with the anisotropy parameter and the absorption coefficient.
