Abstract
The optical properties diffuse reflection and transmission of normal porcine aorta and thermally coagulated aorta were measured using low power laser irradiation at 1060 nm, 633 nm, 514 nm, and 325 nrn (reflection measurements only). The results from three of the wavelengths (1060 nm, 633 nm, and 514 nm) were used with a Delta-Eddington diffusion approximation model12 to calculate absorption coefficients, j.ta, and effective scattering coefficients, j.ts, of the normal and thermally coagulated aorta at these wavelengths. The results show a strong wavelength dependency of irreversible changes in optical properties of thennally damaged aorta, with a trend of increasing changes in reflection approaching smaller wavelengths.
