摘要
A novel approach for time-domain diffuse correlation spectroscopy (TD-DCS) has been recently proposed, which has the unique advantage by simultaneous measurements of optical and dynamical properties in a scattering medium. In this study, analytical models for calculating the time-resolved electric-field autocorrelation function is presented for a multi-layer turbid sample, as well as a semi-infinite medium embedded with a small dynamic heterogeneity. To verify the analytical models, we used Monte Carlo simulations, which demonstrated that the theoretical prediction for the time-resolved autocorrelation function was highly consistent with the Monte Carlo simulation, validating the proposed analytical models. Using these analytical models, we also showed that TD-DCS has a higher sensitivity compared to conventional continuous-wave (CW) DCS for detecting the deeper dynamics. The presented analytical models and simulations can be utilized for quantification of optical and dynamical properties from future TD-DCS experimental data as well as for optimization of the experimental design to achieve maximum contrast for deep tissue dynamics.
