Modified reciprocity relation for the time-dependent diffusion equation
Abstract:
The classical reciprocity relation of radiative transfer fails for two points placed in regions having different indices of refraction. A modified reciprocity relation that involves the relative refractive index between the two points considered was previously derived for the continuous wave (cw) radiative transfer equation and for the cw diffusion equation (DE) [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A14, 486 (1997)]. In this paper, we extend these findings to the time-dependent DE and we discuss some implications to diffuse optical tomography.

Drift Current:
The drift of charge carriers is started by an external electric field (E). Charged particles, such as electrons and holes, experience an acceleration between collisions with lattice atoms. For electrons, this results in a drift velocity (vd) given by:
