Abstract
A discrete stochastic model is used to derive analytic expressions for various quantities relating to photon transport through an optically turbid slab. Several theoretical predictions, including those of the d istributions of total path length, diffuse surface reemissions, and ti me-resolved point intensities, are examined by comparison with Monte C arlo simulations of a continuous-random-walk model of photon migration through a semi-infinite medium of finite thickness.
