Calculation techniques with the Monte Carlo method in stray radiation evaluation

Some calculation techniques with the Monte Carlo method in stray radiation evaluation such as imaginary covers, domain decomposition, coordinate conversion, principle of weight-equivalent sampling, randomness of radiant characteristic of heat insulating coat are described. Employing these techniques, the stray radiation calculation for a large optical system can be achieved in a personal computer. Taking a satellite-borne optical system, for example, the stray radiation flux and stray radiation environment of the system is obtained. The calculation results present a reference for the design of the optical system.
