A fast and accurate method for the simulation of the diffusing temporal light correlation in multi-layered turbid media

Abstract

Monte Carlo simulation of the diffusing temporal light correlation in a multi-layered turbid medium is considered. A straightforward formula is introduced to calculate accurately and efficiently the autocorrelation function at any detector position. The simulation results are in an excellent agreement with an analytical solution of the correlation diffusion equation.
