The Lens_simple Component
Simple refractive x-ray lens
Identification

- Author: Erik Knudsen
- Origin: Risoe
- Date: June 16, 2009
Description
Models a stack of N refractive lenses, with a radius of curvature, r, at the apex. The model is a thin-lens approximation where photons are refracted in a the XY plane at Z=0. Absorption is generally disregarded may be handled through the use of the optional transmission parameter T, where 0<=T<=1. Thus, the lens has the focal length of f=R/(2*N*&delta) where the x-ray refractive index is written: n = 1 - &delta + i &beta. Example: Lens_simple(xwidth=1e-5, yheight=1e-5, material_datafile="Be.txt",N=100,r=0.3e-3)
Input parameters
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.| Name | Unit | Description | Default | |
| xwidth | m | Width of lens aperture. | 0 | |
| yheight | m | Height of lens aperture. | 0 | |
| radius | m | Radius of lens aperture (overrides xwidth & yheight). | 1e-3 | |
| T | Transmission efficiency of the lens. | 1 | ||
| r | The radius of curvature of the lens. | 0 | ||
| N | The number of successive lenses in the stack. | 1 | ||
| verbose | Extra information for debugging. | 0 | ||
| f | m | Focal length - overrides the material_datafile - and diregards chromatic aberration. | 0 | |
