Hi! I'm new user in this newsgroup. I want to know, if with povray, it's
possible to do this : i have to trace a laser line light source that riflected
in a mirror; the goal is design this mirror so that riflected the line laser in
certain positions.
Thank you for help.

Please help yourself by looking in the demo scenes delivered with
povray: have a look at scene/advanced/optics.pov

Take a look at the various light_source options, like cylindrical and 
parallel.

Then, take a look at photons.

There are sample scenes illustrating both concepts.

Finaly, take some time to read the included or onlyne documentation.
