None: Does not compute any intensity information.

|
Compute intensity: Solves for intensity, which typically increases as rays are focused and decreases as they diverge. Also affected by reflection, refraction, and attenuating media. Only valid when the media are homogeneous.
|
•
|
Compute power: Solves for power, which is unaffected by the convergence or divergence of rays but is still affected by reflection, refraction, and attenuating media. Can be used to compute heat source terms in attenuating domains or heat flux terms on absorbing boundaries that the rays hit.
|
•
|
Compute intensity and power: Combines the capabilities of Compute intensity and Compute power, at the cost of a few extra degrees of freedom per ray.

|
Compute intensity in graded media: Similar to Compute intensity, but is also applicable to graded-index media. The tradeoff is that this method is slower and less accurate for homogeneous media.
|
•
|
Compute intensity and power in graded media: Similar to Compute intensity in graded media but can also be used to generate heat sources in attenuating domains and heat flux terms at boundaries.
