Özet

Altering wavelength via fluorescent particles is used in various applications. The solution of the broadband radiative transfer equation (RTE) for absorbing and anisotropically scattering a fluorescent medium is presented in this study considering fluorescent cascade, along with a Monte-Carlo-method-based solution of the equation. The path-length-based Monte Carlo method, the dual-stage method, and its modified version, the multi-stage method, which are used for solving the RTE in a fluorescent medium for biomedical and lighting applications, are not capable of accurately solving the broadband RTE with fluorescent cascade. Therefore, a collision-based Monte Carlo method is applied to overcome the limitations of these approaches. An accuracy comparison with the alternative methods is presented along with the flow chart and codes of the proposed method. (C) 2021 Optical Society of America
