//
// 31 October 2004, P R Truscott, QinetiQ Ltd, UK - Created.
//
// 01 August 2007   P R Truscott, QinetiQ Ltd, UK
//                  Significant modification to correct for errors and enhance
//                  based on patches/observations kindly provided by Rickard
//                  Holmberg.
//
// 26 September 2007
//                  P R Truscott, QinetiQ Ltd, UK
//                  Further chamges implemented to the Intersect member
//                  function to correctly treat rays nearly parallel to the
//                  plane of the triangle.
//
// 12 April 2010    P R Truscott, QinetiQ, bug fixes to treat optical
//                  photon transport, in particular internal reflection
//                  at surface.
//
// 22 August 2011   I Hrivnacova, Orsay, fix in Intersect() to take into
//                  account geometrical tolerance and cases of zero distance
//                  from surface.
//
// 12 October 2012  M Gayer, CERN
//                  New implementation reducing memory requirements by 50%,
//                  and considerable CPU speedup together with the new
