| 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. |
