Light Propagation in Transparent Wood: Efficient Ray‐Tracing Simulation and Retrieving an Effective Refractive Index of Wood Scaffold
description Transparent wood (TW), a biocomposite material demonstrating optical transparency in the visible range, has attracted much interest in recent years due to great potential for ecofriendly applications, for instance, in construction industry and functionalized organic materials. Optical properties of TW, including transparency and haze, depend on a particular structure of cellulose‐based backbone compound, (mis‐)matching of the refractive indices (RIs) between TW compounds, and the polymer matrix. Although there are data of cellulose RIs for various forms of cellulose (fibers, powder, hot‐pressed films, etc.), these values might differ from an effective RI of the TW substrate. Herein, a numerical model of light propagation in the TW, based on the real cellular structure in wood, is presented and applied to estimate an effective RI of the delignified wood reinforcement in the experimentally investigated TW material. Ray‐tracing and rigorous electromagnetic approaches are compared for modeling light propagation in the TW. Ray tracing demonstrates considerably simplified yet accurate and efficient solutions. The work brings substantial progress toward realistic and practical wood modeling for the purpose of applications, materials design, and fundamental studies.
