Abstract

This paper mainly discusses the effective refractive indices of biological tissues and its experimental determination. The implication of effective refractive indices of biological tissues is illustrated and its action on the light transporting in biological tissues is also discussed. After then, an experimental measuring method is proposed to obtain the effective refractive index. Corresponding setup and data processing algorithm are presented in this paper, which is applied to obtain the effective refractive indices of typical samples.
