Abstract Using integrating spheres (ISs) in conjunction with the inverse adding–doubling algorithm (IAD) offers a well-established, rigorous protocol for determining optical absorption (${{\mu}_a}$) and reduced scattering ($\mu _s^\prime$) coefficients of thin, optically homogeneous, turbid media. Here, we report the performance and use of a single IS system for experimentally retrieving optical properties in phantom media whose optical properties were well controlled.
