Polarized Light for MC #15

Open gasha17 opened 2 years ago

gasha17 commented 2 years ago

Hallo Dr. Aleksi,

How will we get around to incorporate Polarized light source in valo-MC. It would involve tracking polar coordinate (or any other ) at incoming and exit boundary elements, and in also in medium for each updated scatter length. Is it something doable in Matlab, without changing the original code or one has to edit C++ files?

You comment suggestion are most appreciated.

Thanks a lot, GS

Hello GS,

Sorry for the late response. At least for a general solution, it cannot be done without changing the C++ files. Polarization may change in scattering, and different polarizations may have different absorption coefficients, for example. One must build some tracking for these in the C++ code.

Best, Aleksi

Thank you, We thought the same. For now we wprk in parallel with polraized MC code and Valo. Greets from Hannover.
