Light-pulse atom interferometers have evolved into capable sensors for inertial and electromagnetic forces and are now routinely used to test the foundations of physics. Most matter-wave interferometers use Raman or Bragg diffraction in combination with large-momentum-transfer techniques for for atomic diffraction. Typically, beamsplitters have multiple sources of imperfection such as mirror vibrations, polarization imperfections or general imperfections in their optical beams. In order to analyze and quantify the consequences in detail, full 3d models of these processes are necessary. However, due to the interplay of multiple effects the analytic treatment becomes cumbersome. In order to gain a deeper understanding of these effects a numerical treatment is necessary and needs to be efficient. In our contribution we discuss the modeling of Raman diffraction with physical beam shapes and other imperfections of the lasers involved.
