Method to measure the diffusion coefficient of a layered medium

A method to measure the diffusion coefficient of homogeneous and layered media, based on multi-distance measurements of time-resolved reflectance is proposed. The diffusion coefficient is retrieved by fitting procedures on the logarithm of the ratio of two reflectances measured at two different source-receiver distances. The inversion procedure uses analytical models derived from the diffusion equation and it is not affected by the boundary conditions used. For layered media the inversion procedure retrieves the diffusion coefficient of the first layer. The proposed procedure is simpler than others usually employed and also provides a reliable criterion for retrieval of information on the layered structure of the diffusive medium.
