Cylindrically curved mirror
Models a cylindrical mirror, positioned in the XZ-plane curving towards positive X. The input parameter radius defines the radius of curvature and the mirror size is given by length and width where length and width is along Z and Y respectively. coating and R0 are mutually exclusive. If R0 is nonzero, it is taken as the reflectivity value, irrespective of wavelength, whereas coating nominates a file from which to read values for \(f_1\) and \(f_2\). See [Nis] for definitions. For elements \(Z\in [1,92]\) datafiles are distributed with the McXtrace system that may be used as: coating="Rh.txt". or coating="Al.txt".
This component is scheduled to be merged with Mirror_parabolic and Mirror_elliptic
