Hi Viktor,
  from the output file you can get this report about the optical
photons generated in your material:

  Number of optical photon interactions per beam particle
  Prompt radiation Radioactive decays
    9.9260E+03 (100.%) 0.0000E+00 (100.%)
    8.0750E+03 (81.4%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) absorptions
    1.8510E+03 (18.6%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) diffusions
    0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) escapes
    0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) 0.0000E+00 ( 0.0%) time-kill
