Parameter Fluence* (J/cm2) HbO2 molar extinction (cm−1mM−1) Hb molar extinction (cm−1mM−1) HbO2 absorption coefficient** (mm−1) Hb absorption coefficient** (mm−1)
765 nm Φ01 = 0.043 αo1 = 0.616 αd1 = 1.435 µao1 = 0.11 µad1 = 0.25
800 nm Φ02 = 0.096 αo2 = 0.816 αd2 = 0.762 µao2 = 0.14 µad2 = 0.13

*Calculated using half period of modulation of laser excitation light τ = 0.012 second

**Calculated suggesting SaO2 = 100% for HbO2 and SaO2 = 0% for Hb and using typical concentration of hemoglobin in porcine blood THb = 1.77 mM (11.4 g/dL, hemoglobin molecular weight MW = 64500 g/mole) [30].
