The Multilayer_elliptic Component

Elliptic multilayer mirror

Identification

Description

Reads reflectivity values from a data input file (Ref.dat) for a Si/W multilayer.
The multilayer code reflects ray in an ideal geometry, does not include surface imperfections

The mirror is positioned such that the long axis of the mirror elliptical surface coincides with
z-axis

The algorithm:
 Incoming photon's coordinates and direction (k-vector) are transformed into an elliptical reference frame 
(elliptical parameters are calculated according to the mirror's position and its focusing distances and the  * incident angle), the intersection point is then defined. A new, reflected photon is then starting at the  
point of intersection.


Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
