	  abstract     = {To measure the thickness of the subcutaneous adipose
tissue layer, a non-invasive optical measurement system (λ=1300 nm)
is introduced. Animal and human subjects are used for the
experiments. The results of human subjects are compared with the data
of ultrasound device measurements, and a high correlation (r=0.94 for
n=11) is observed. There are two modes in the corresponding signals
measured by the optical system, which can be explained by
two-layered and three-layered tissue models. If the target tissue is
thinner than the critical thickness, detected data using diffuse
reflectance method follow the three-layered tissue model, so the data
increase as the thickness increases. On the other hand, if the target
tissue is thicker than the critical thickness, the data follow the
two-layered tissue model, so they decrease as the thickness increases.},
