Abstract:
In this paper, we develop the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) for solving boundary value problems in the field of optical fluorescence. The governing system of diffusion–absorption equations for the excitation and emission fluences is transformed into a single fourth–order partial differential equation whose fundamental solution can be expressed as the difference of two fundamental solutions of the complex Helmholtz equation. The numerically obtained results confirm the accuracy of the MFS when compared with an available analytical solution. Numerical results are also provided for a physical application in optical fluorescence. Furthermore, extensions to three dimensions along with numerical verification are performed.
Key words:  Optical fluorescence, method of fundamental solutions, elliptic equations.
