A computational experiment of simulating light propagation in a fibre-containing profiled structure

Many studies show that profiled structures are the source of attaining desired system characteristics in industrial or other applications. In this short note, we continue considering proposed recently by us the profiled structure such as a beach umbrella based on the principles of origami design. To demonstrate the optical properties of the given model, a developed recursive ray tracing algorithm is used to simulate the propagation of light rays through the modelled paper fiber sample. In this paper, modeling light propagation through a porous structure using ray tracing technique is presented and results of modeling light propagation in a profiled structure with respect to simulated light propagation in fiber structure are discussed.
