Significance: In laser therapy and diagnosis of skin diseases, the irradiated light distribution, which is determined by the absorption coefficient μa and reduced scattering coefficient Aim: We present μa and Approach: The measurements with Asian human skin samples are performed employing a double integrating sphere spectrometric system and an inverse Monte Carlo technique. Using the measured parameters, the optical penetration depth and energy deposition are quantitatively analyzed. Results: The μa of the epidermis layer varies among different ethnic groups, while the μa of the other layers and the Conclusions: The experimentally measured values of μa and |
