CALIBRATIONLESS OPTICOPHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS

Principles are established for the design of ''calibrationless'' optic ophysical diagnostic systems to analyze scattering media by means of a ggregate measurements based on the changing geometry of excitations of the medium and a combination of instrument constants. These principle s are used as a basis for the design of new measurement systems to be employed in the optical diagnostics of scattering media. The computati onal and measurement algorithms that are used satisfy the requirements of metrological certification and automation of the measurement proce ss to the fullest extent possible.
