The Mirror Component

Perfectly flat mirror (in XZ or YZ), or polygonal

Identification

Description

This is a simple implementation of a perfectly flat mirror. The mirror plane is in the XZ-plane.
It can be oriented in the YZ plane by setting 'yheight'.
It may also be a complex polygonal geometry (OFF/PLY) by setting 'geometry'.

Reflectivity may be specified either as a number (R0) or by means of a material datafile.
The material datafile may be specified as a coating or as relfectivity - either parameterized by q or E,theta.
If the datafile is identified as a coating recipe, an ab-initio reflectivity calculation is triggered.

Example: Mirror(xwidth=5e-2, zdepth=2e-1, R0=1, coating="B4C.dat")

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
NameUnitDescriptionDefault
zdepthmThe length of the mirror0.1

yheightmThe height of the mirror. This overrides xwidth and puts the mirror in the yz-plane.0
