Lipschitz stability at the boundary for time-harmonic diffuse optical tomography

Abstract: We study the inverse problem in Optical Tomography of determining the optical properties of a medium

O m e g a s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n}

, with

n g e q 3

, under the so-called diffusion approximation. We consider the time-harmonic case where

O m e g a

is probed with an input field that is modulated with a fixed harmonic frequency

o m e g a = f r a c k c

, where

c

is the speed of light and

k

is the wave number. We prove a result of Lipschitz stability of the absorption coefficient

m u_{a}

at the boundary

p a r t i a l O m e g a

in terms of the measurements in the case when the scattering coefficient

m u_{s}

is assumed to be known and

k

belongs to certain intervals depending on some a-priori bounds on

m u_{a}

,

m u_{s}

.
