Abstract

To accurately determine sample optical properties using single fiber reflectance spectroscopy (SFR), an absolute calibration of the reflectance is required. We investigated two SFR calibration methods, using a calibrated mirror and using the Fresnel reflection at the fiber tip as a reference. We compared these to commonly used calibration methods, using either Intralipid-20% in combination with Monte Carlo simulations or Spectralon as a reference. The Fresnel reflection method demonstrated the best reproducibility and yielded the most reliable result. We therefore recommend the Fresnel reflection method for the measured absolute reflectance calibration of SFR.
