Abstract
Diffuse photon-density waves generated by an instantaneous line source that is parallel to the interface between two semi-infinite turbid media are studied by use of the diffusion approximation. For two nonabsorbing media the Green functions for diffuse light are obtained based on the Green functions for temperature fields that were derived with the Cagniard-de Hoop method. The boundary conditions for diffuse light take into account the discontinuity in the specific intensity at the interface between two media with different refractive indices. The results of the calculations of the specific intensities and the gradient lines for different sets of parameters are presented.
