Mirror_elliptic ComponentTakes a reflectivity 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 x-axis, the b-axis is along the y-axis and the c is along the z-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). This means that to position the mirror correctly, the user positions the ellipsoid governing the mirror shape, not the mirror itself. Example: Mirror_elliptic( length=150e-3, width=150e-3, x_a=1.025, y_b=1.025, z_c=1.025)
| Name | Unit | Description | Default | |
| x_a | m | 1st short half axis (along x). Commonly set to zero, which really implies infinite value, so crystal is an elliptic cylinder. | 0 | |
| y_b | m | 2nd short half axis (along y), which is also the presumed near-normal direction, reflection near the y-z plane. | 1.0 | |
| z_c | m | long half axis (along z). Commonly a=0. b=c, which creates a circular cylindrical surface. | 1.0 | |
| zdepth | m | Depth (length) of the mirror along Z. | 0.2 | |
| xwidth | m | Width of the mirror along X. | 0.2 | |
| R0 | 1 | Reflectivity of mirror (mostly relevant for debugging, when coating="") | 1 | |
| coating | str | Datafile containing either mirror material constants or reflectivity numbers. | "Be.txt" | |
| length | m | alternate name for zdepth (obsolete) | 0 | |
| width | m | alternate name for xwidth (obsolete) | 0 | |
| radius | m | Spherical radius, Sets x_a=y_b=z_c=radius | 0 |
