S. A. Prahl, Optical-Thermal Response of Laser Irradiated Tissue, chapter 5, 101-129 (1995).
This chapter describes the adding-doubling method for solving the radiative transport equation. The advantages and disadvantages of the method are presented, followed by sections describing its theory and computer implementation. A detailed example is given with intermediate numerical results. Accurate tables with values of reflection and transmission for slabs of varying thicknesses with mismatched boundaries are given.
