Abstract
The influence of edge effects on refraction of a laser beam in flat-layered optical inhomogeities of finite dimension is modeled. An algorithm for numerical calculation of the trajectory of a geometrical optical beam in an arbitrary two-dimensional inhomogeneous field of indices of refractions is developed. A comparison is performed with the results of a calculation of the beam for the case of a temperature inhomogeneity, taking into account edge effects and with edge effects ignored.
