The Mirror_elliptic Component
Release: McXtrace 1.0
Idealized elliptic mirror.
Identification
- Site:
- Author: Erik Knudsen
- Origin: Risoe
- Date: Feb 11, 2010
Description
Takes a reflectivity (default=1) as input and reflects rays in a ideal geometry elliptic mirror. The mirror is positioned such that the a-axis of the mirror ellipsoid is on the z-axis, the b-axis is along the y-axis and the c is along the x-axis. The reference point of the mirror is the ellipsoid centre, offset by one half-axis along the y-axis. (See the component manual for a drawing). Furthermore, the mirror centre may be shifted by z_offset along the z-axis ( -c < z_offset < c ). This means that to position the mirror correctly. the user positions the ellipsoid governing the mirror shape, not the mirror itself.
Input parameters
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.| Name | Unit | Description | Default |
