The 3D in 2D laser ray tracing is calculating the laser ray deflection and the energy deposition in 3D and then project the energy deposition on the 2D RZ coordinates. Thus, when the laser is injected in 45 deg, naturally the projected energy deposition is not really uniform. It would look like uniform if you have a planar target normal to the Z(Y) axis. </div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">-Shu</div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 9, 2020, at 7:42 PM, 方可 <<a href="mailto:kfang@iphy.ac.cn" class="">kfang@iphy.ac.cn</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div style="font-family:"lucida Grande", Verdana, "Microsoft YaHei";font-size:14px;white-space:normal;background-color:#FFFFFF;" class="">
Hi, everyone:

My simulation is using one laser beam irradiate on a spherical shell, and this laser beam have a 45 degree angle to x-axis. I used the cylindrical geometry, and from the output hdf5 files, I found that the intensity of laser is not symmetrically on the surface of the shell. But when i used the cartesian geometry with same 45 degree incident laser, the intensity on the shell is uniform and symmetrically.

I guess here are some problems when i'm seting up the laser beam. My laser setup in the .par file is as follows:
