RaySim6; Collaborate on RaySim DevelopmentYou, too, can help support the cost of developing and maintaining free RaySim6! If you use RaySim6 in your published work, please cite RaySim in your article. Also, send me a publication-quality reference to your work. I will include it here. If you have copyright permission, send me a pdf of your article and I will include it here also. (Important - you must have copyright permission for me to include your work on this site :-) If you would like to collaborate on the development of new features or on your specific problem or application, contact me. My email: Jeff Cotter.
How to Cite RaySim
If you present significant results generated by RaySim in your paper, please cite RaySim! I suggest something like
"Simulations were performed using RaySim version 6.0 [1].
[1] J.E. Cotter, "RaySim 6.0 - A Free Geometrical Ray Tracing Program for Silicon Solar Cells," Proceedings of the 31st PVSC, Lake Buena Vista, USA, January 3-7, 2005, in press."
If scientists and engineers are using and supporting RaySim, I will continue its devolopment to include new features and your suggestions!
