This study introduces durable skin phantoms with controllable surface roughness, improving light propagation modeling. These phantoms account for both surface and bulk scattering for advanced optical studies.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Skin phantoms are crucial for studying light propagation in biological tissues.
  • Current phantoms often lack realistic surface roughness, limiting their accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop durable skin phantoms with controllable surface roughness and bulk optical properties.
  • To accurately model light propagation considering both surface and bulk scattering effects.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of phantoms using silica microspheres as scattering particles.
  • Theoretical modeling of scatterer density for desired optical properties.
  • Validation of surface roughness and attenuation using optical profilometry and ballistic spatial filter photometry.
