Propagation of light into scattering media is a complex problem that can be modeled using statistical methods such as Monte Carlo. Few Monte Carlo programs have so far included the information regarding the status of polarization of light before and after a scattering event. Different approaches have been followed and limited numerical values have been made available to the general public. In this paper, three different ways to build a Monte Carlo program for light propagation with polarization are given. Different groups have used the first two methods; the third method is original. Comparison in between Monte Carlo runs and Adding Doubling program yielded less than 1 % error.
光在散射介质中的传播是一个复杂的问题，可以使用蒙特卡罗等统计方法进行建模。到目前为止，很少有蒙特卡罗程序包含有关散射事件前后光的偏振状态的信息。人们采用了不同的方法，并且只向公众提供了有限的数值。本文给出了三种构建用于光偏振传播的蒙特卡罗程序的不同方法。不同的团队使用了前两种方法；第三种方法是原创的。蒙特卡罗模拟运行与倍增法程序之间的比较产生的误差小于1%。
