Detailed Description

SimVolume organises the different objects in the simulated structure. It contains the different light sources, objects (surfaces and layers), and detectors in the simulation. It points to the first object, which is surrounding medium above the simulated structure to get the incoming refractive index, and to the first detector. Each object points to its previous and next object and the same applies to detectors.

int SimVolume::Process ( WavePacket wp)

The Process method called after light source generation in the main program is the scattering simulation main function. It sends the wave packet to the top surface and then to the other layers and surfaces until the wave packet reached the first object (top surrounding), the last object (bottom surrounding), or has been absorbed.

Calculate first surface scattering This will return the number of objects that the wp will go through in case of zero thickness layers. If the next layer performs surface scattering, i.e. surface scattering is performed by layer's components, move the wavepacket to the surface position and go to next object without surface scattering

Find the first object that wp enter. wp is going down

Process wp until it leaves the structure Stop if more than 700 loops TODO: set max number as a parameter

Check wether surface scattering is controlled by surface object or layer's components

Process in the current paper object returns >0 if going up, <0 if going down absoolute value is the number of objects the wp went through (in case of zero thickness layers)

Get the next PO

Set the state of the wp before leaving TRA or REF
