abstract: >-

  PhoSim is a set of extremely fast photon Monte Carlo codes

  that calculate the ab initio physics of the atmosphere and

  a telescope & camera in order to simulate realistic

  optical/UV/IR/X-ray astronomical images.  PhoSim can also

  simulate any optical system that produces images (e.g.

  cameras, satellites, human eye).
