title: Förster resonance energy transfer and trapping in selected systems: analysis by Monte-Carlo simulation.
abstract: Monte-Carlo simulation method is described and applied as an efficient tool to analyze experimental data in the presence of energy transfer in selected systems, where the use of analytical approaches is limited or even impossible. Several numerical and physical problems accompanying Monte-Carlo simulation are addressed. It is shown that the Monte-Carlo simulation enables to obtain orientation factor in partly ordered systems and other important energy transfer parameters unavailable directly from experiments. It is shown how Monte-Carlo simulation can predict some important features of energy transport like its directional character in ordered media.
