Steven Jacques, Oregon Medical Laser Center Monte Carlo programming code is available from various sources, and there are many books on the subject. This article is intended to conveniently and quickly enable the student to begin using the Monte Carlo method to model photon transport.
Further reading is recommended for the serious student.
It is written in ANSI Standard C and should compile on any platform. Students will need a C compiler on their own computer. Launching a collimated finite-diameter beam of uniform irradiance. The program models an infinite unbounded medium with absorption and scattering properties.
