  • Abstract
    An experimental evaluation of reduced scattering coefficient in a homogeneous scattering medium is presented. For deriving the reduced scattering coefficient, a scattering coefficient in a weak scattered region is measured by optical coherence tomography and an anisotropic parameter is derived from the measurement of output beam width. The experimental results showed that the proposed method gave the acceptable values by comparing the results from Mie theory.
