reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0884920 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The report presents a detailed description of the ZAP computer program. It is used to determine the distribution of energy deposition within a laser assembly. The program is written in FORTRAN IV. The calculation uses ray tracing and Monte Carlo techniques to obtain a solution. The program is applicable to a wide range of geometrics and a spectrum of wave lengths.
