Abstract

Coefficients of light absorption μa and scattering μs for biological tissues lie within a broad range - minimum ones for healthy eye tissues up to higher values (f.e. μa = 0.3 cm-1 and μs = 40 cm-1 at 633 nm for muscle tissues) for other and mainly turbid tissues. The specific feature of the transparent PLZT ceramics (having absorption μa>0.1 cm-1 in the visible and in the near infrared spectrum range) is electrically controlled light scattering. The present work reports on experimental results of the light transport and backscattering for PLZT 9/65/35 (Pb0.91La0.09Zr0.65Ti0.35O3). We propose PLZT ceramics with fast and continuously controllable light scattering as an optical phantom for photon migration studies and for scattering obstacles in vision disability tests.
