Abstract :
The authors demonstrate the potential of femtosecond laser pulsed illumination and picosecond detection in biomedical imaging via an efficient and simple Monte Carlo laser pulse diffusion simulation, based on realistic biological parameters. The evolution of the contrast of a sinusoidal grid in a diffuse medium as a function of the width of a temporal gate is shown.
