We proposed the method of obtaining a strong reflected light from a deep artery to expand the area where the
oxygen saturation level can be measured. We fabricated the phantoms which imitated an optical characteristic of human
body. An artery model was laid inside the phantom. We irradiated the light of a LED to the phantom, and measured
reflected light from the artery model in the phantom by a photodiode. We obtained a strong reflected light from a deep
artery model by adjusting the distance between LED and a photodiode. We conducted a similar experiment using the
human body, and verified the efficacy of adjusting the distance between a LED and a photodiode.
