Public Member Functions
	ray_t (Vector_3 E_, Vector_3 k_, Vector_3 pos_, valtype a_=1, int bounce_=0, int *pcell_=NULL)
	constructs a ray of amplitude a propagating in direction k and linearly polarized in direction E.

Public Attributes
Vector_3	k
	normalized ray direction (Z)

Vector_3	E
	normalized axis direction for reference polarization, normal to k (X)

valtype	a
	ray amplitude

Vector_3	S
	3D part of the Stokes vector a^2*(1,S[0],S[1],S[2]) normalized on intensity a^2 in the basis (E,kE,k)

Vector_3	pos
	current ray starting position

int	bounce
	number of scattering events for this ray (inherited from parent rays)

valtype	path
	length of ray path from source

int	pcell [3]
	number of crosses of container boundary (inherited from parent rays), NOT USED?

bool	absorbed
	flag to indicate that the ray was absorbed along the path (a<min_a)

bool	runaway
	flag to indicate that the ray exited the confinement

valtype	data = 0
	extra data to be tracked along the ray. May be set up/changed by scatter function of a scat_t class.
