The Bidirectionally Coupled Ray Tracing study (
) is used to compute ray trajectories that are affected by external fields. This study solves for all degrees of freedom related to rays using a Time-Dependent Solver. All other degrees of freedom are computed using a Stationary Solver. The two solvers are repeated using a For-End For loop so that a self-consistent solution is obtained, taking the bidirectional coupling between the propagating rays and stationary fields into account.
