Abstract
The model for estimation of the amplitude modulation depth of photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal based on the modified Beer-Lambert law was developed. It was analytically confirmed that the modulation depth of PPG signal depends on the wavelength and illumination geometry. The modulation depth is directly proportional to the distance between the light source and the detector. The sensitivity of green light (525 nm) to blood volume changes is approximately 6-9 times greater than that for red (640 nm) and IR (805 nm) light. It was found that in case of green light, the main contribution to the modulation of PPG signal is made by absorption coefficient changes while in case of red and IR light, the modulation is mainly caused by scattering coefficient changes.
