N2 - 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 nm (reflection measurements only). The results from three of the wavelengths (1060nm, 633nm, and 514 nm) were used with a Delta-Eddington diffusion approximation model1,2 to calculate absorption coefficients, μa, and effective scattering coefficients, μs, of the normal and thermally coagulated aorta at these wavelengths. The results show a strong wavelength dependency of irreversible changes in optical properties of thermally damaged aorta, with a trend of increasing changes in reflection approaching smaller wavelengths.
