Uncertainty Analysis: 10% and 0% uncertainty in a and s January 3, 011 SPIE Photonics West 011 11
Uncertainty Analysis: uncertainty in eff Same uncertainties in eff result in a more accurate light dose Optimum trend in eff is circular in nature rather than linear A greater range in in eff is permissible for same dose accuracy January 3, 011 SPIE Photonics West 011 1
Results Spread in measured optical properties runs in opposite direction of optimum trend in accurate light dose Wavelength fitting tends to overestimate in reduced scattering coefficient and underestimate in absorption coefficient January 3, 011 SPIE Photonics West 011 13
Results Up to a 0% difference in light dose 30% of optical properties give result in dose within 10% of ideal dose Average a =1.0 0.04); Average s =16.55 1.00); January 3, 011 SPIE Photonics West 011 14
