ENERGY DEPOSITION IN LASERS

Abstract

A UNIVAC 1108 FORTRAN IV computer program has been written to determine the distribution of energy deposition within a LASER assembly. The code is currently running but needs further enhancement of its input and output facilities as well as a source description. The program uses ray tracing and Monte Carlo methods to obtain a solution. The geometrical and property input to the code is very simple and convenient to write, but the source input still needs to be defined.
