Abstract
An optical phantom produces a time-resolved diffuse reflectance spectrum and includes: a light source; a spatial light modulator; and an optical delay line including optical fibers of different length that produce different time-of-flight distributions, such that different time-of-flight distributions are combined and produce phantom light having the time-resolved diffuse reflectance spectrum.
