This paper presents an optical method to measure independently the effect of swelling on the optical properties of strongly scattering porous media. The method was tested by measuring the swelling behaviour of cellulose fibre tissue using optical coherence tomography. The experimental results proved that the effect of swelling on optical and physical properties of paper can be measured.
