The ZonePlate Component

Zone plate based on Monte Carlo sampling of the Fresnel-Kirchhoff integral

Identification

Description

A component which models a zone plate by consierding the plate a secondary source
and then by means of Monte Carlo sampling, evaluating the Fresnel-Kirchhoff integral
implicitly by resampling the beam in a window defined by the focus_xw,focus_yh parameters.

Caveat emptor I: this is a computationally heavy component to run.
Caveat emptor II: for correct modelling of phase-interference phenomena, detectors used after the ZonePlate
should be of the "PSD_monitor_coh" type.

The zone plate can be iether circular or linear. In the linear case, the "slits" are
along the x-axis.
