Abstract
Laser Doppler flow measurements and Monte Carlo simulations on small b lood perfusion flow models at 780 nm are presented and compared. The d imensions of the optical sample volume are investigated as functions o f the distance of the laser to the detector and as functions of the an gle of penetration of the laser into the sample. The effects of homody ne and heterodyne scattering are investigated. (C) 1995 Optical Societ y of America
