Description
A single pore is simulated, which may have thick walls. The top and bottom are curved cylindrically azimuthally, and according to the Wolter I optic lengthwise (sagitally). This is the parabolic part. The azimuthal curvature is defined by the radius parameters. This refers to the center of the pore. I.e the top and bottom plates have radius of curvature <radius+yheight/2> and <radius-yheight/2> respectively.
To intersect the Wolter I plates we take advatage of the azimuthal symmetry and only consider the radial component of the photon’s wavevector.
Input parameters
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

radius_p |
m |
Ring radius of the upper (reflecting) plate of the pore at the edge furthest away from the focal point. |
|
|
radius_m |
m |
Ring radius of the upper (reflecting) plate of the pore at the intersection with the hyperbolic section. |
|
|
Z0 |
m |
distance between intersection plane and the focal spot( essentially the focal length). |
|
|
xwidth |
m |
Width of the pore. |
|
|
yheight |
m |
Height of the pore. (Thus the inner radius is radius_{m,h}-yehight. |

gap |
m |
gap between intersection with parabolic section and actual plate. |

mirror_reflec |
|
Data file containing reflectivities of the reflector surface (TOP). |

bottom_reflec |
|
Data file containing reflectivities of the bottom surface (BOTTOM). |

|
side_reflec |
|
Data file containing reflectivities of the side walls (LEFT and RIGHT). |

|
R_d |
|
Default reflectivity value to use if no reflectivity file is given. Useful f.i. is one surface is reflecting and the others absorbing. |
1 |
|
waviness |
rad |
Waviness of the reflecting surface. The slope error is assumed to be uniformly distributed in the interval [-waviness:waviness]. |
0 |
|
longw |
