Abstract

To measure optical properties of turbid fluorescent samples, an advancement of an inhouse developed integration sphere system was build up. This system based on a 3D printed integrating sphere uses photodiodes with lock-in technics for detection. The tuneable monochromatic illumination is realized by a laser pumped xenon light source with an integrated monochromator. A second monochromator on the detection side allows to discriminate between inelastically and elastically scattered light from the fluorescent media. By measuring the reflection and transmission from the investigated turbid sample, the wavelength dependent optical properties (absorption coefficient µa, effective scattering coefficient µs’) as well as the quantum efficiency (or concentration) of the fluorophore can be determinate using lookup tables generated from Monte Carlo simulations. Validation measurements are performed on turbid rhodamine phantoms.
