contents We develop a ray-tracing model for laser-plasma interaction suitable for coupling in-line into kinetic particle-in-cell plasma simulation. The model is based on inverse Bremsstrahlung absorption and includes oblique incidence effects and reflection at the critical surface. The energy deposition is given to electrons by randomized kicks to momentum. The model is verified against analytic solutions and a 2-D laser ray-tracing code.
