Abstract
Scattering of terahertz radiation from cylindrical strands is explored as a means of studying the effects of hair on the results of bio-tissue analysis. Strands of fiberglass are aligned either parallel or perpendicular to the polarization vector of the incoming terahertz beam. Spectroscopic results reveal that the materialpsilas intrinsic THz transmission properties are highly dependent on fiber orientation.
