The simulation of a crystal of length L (with photons emitted both toward and away from the photodetector) can be simplified by simulating emissions from an infinitely long crystal. The photons that reflect at the right side of the crystal in the upper figure follow a path that is equivalent to the photons generated at position 2L – x in the lower figure.
