Description

KINOFORM. A model of a specific kinoform used by the BNL team during the APS beamtime.
z: [0 0.002033m]
xmin=-0.0002634
xmax=0.0002634
the principles of the kinoform's operation are described here: http://neutrons.ornl.gov/workshops/nni_05/presentations/min050616_xray_evans-lutterodt_ken_nni05.pdf

You may as well use a kinoform with:
Lens_parab_Cyl(r=.5e-3,yheight=1.3e-3,xwidth=1.3e-3,d=.1e-3,N=21,
material_datafile="Be.txt")

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
datafile	str	File with the kinoform lens profile	"kinoform.txt"
material_datafile	str	File with the material parameters (NIST format)	"Si.txt"
yheight	m	height of the lens.	1e-2
xwidth	m	width of the lens	5.268e-4
deltaN	1	If non-zero, overrides the refractive index decrement delta read from material_datafile	0
