Terahertz birefringence and attenuation properties of wood and paper
Abstract
The far-infrared properties of spruce wood are examined with a terahertz time-domain spectrometer. The solid wood is shown to exhibit both birefringence and diattenuation. The birefringence properties are sufficient for construction of a quarter-wave plate operating at 0.36 THz, and a half-wave plate operating at 0.71 THz. The origin of the birefringence is attributed to preferential fiber orientation within the wood. Similar birefringence is observed in lens paper in which the fibers are preferentially oriented in one direction.

From Simultaneous detection of density, moisture content and fiber direction of wood by THz time-domain spectroscopy (2020) · cites this paper as [9]
Wood fiber direction can be determined by observing the change of refractive index as a function of the angle between THz polarization and wood grain angle.
“It is expected that one can determine the wood fiber direction by observing the change of index refraction value as a function of angle between THz polarization and wood grain angle as Reid et al. [9] predicted the fiber direction of lens paper.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
