The Mirror Component
Perfectly flat mirror (in XZ or YZ), or polygonal
Identification
- Author: Erik B Knudsen
- Origin: DTU Physics
- Date: July 2016
Description
This is a simple implementation of a perfectly flat mirror. The mirror plane is in the XZ-plane. It can be oriented in the YZ plane by setting 'yheight'. It may also be a complex polygonal geometry (OFF/PLY) by setting 'geometry'. Reflectivity may be specified either as a number (R0) or by means of a material datafile. The material datafile may be specified as a coating or as relfectivity - either parameterized by q or E,theta. If the datafile is identified as a coating recipe, an ab-initio reflectivity calculation is triggered. Example: Mirror(xwidth=5e-2, zdepth=2e-1, R0=1, coating="B4C.dat")
Input parameters
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.| Name | Unit | Description | Default | |
| zdepth | m | The length of the mirror | 0.1 | |
| xwidth | m | The width of the mirror | 0.01 | |
| yheight | m | The height of the mirror. This overrides xwidth and puts the mirror in the yz-plane. | 0 | |
| coating | str | Filename containing reflectivities (or coating). | "" | |
| R0 | 0-1 | Constant reflectivity | 1 | |
| geometry | str | Filename of an OFF/PLY geometry providing a polygonal surface. When xwidth/yheight/zdepth are also given, the object is rescaled accordingly. | "" |
| AT ( | , | , | ) RELATIVE | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ROTATED ( | , | , | ) RELATIVE |
