Format

Ray index (integer), Cause ('T'/'A'), Shell index (integer), Position XYZ (float,float,float), k-vector direction (float,float,float), s-direction (float,float,float), Polarization QUV (float,float,float), Phase Real part (float), Phase Imaginary part (float)

Record information for each terminated ray.

Ray index: index for a ray.

Casue: 'T' means terminated. It can be either far field or detector. 'A' means absorbed by object.

Shell index: The ray is terminated at this shell.

Position XYZ: the coordinate of termination position.

k-vector: the k-vector of terminated ray.

s-vector: the s-polarization vector.

Polarization QUV: Stokes parameters.

Phase: the real and imaginary parts of phase factor $e^{i\overrightarrow{k}\cdot \overrightarrow{x}}$ assuming coherent light source.
