Figure 2
Horizontal (left) and vertical (right) cuts (along the horizontal and vertical planes containing the optical axis) of the intensity distributions obtained by three different calculation methods: wavefront propagation with grazing-incidence elliptical mirrors extended along optical axis (1), wavefront propagation with the focusing mirrors simulated by ideal thin lenses (2), and geometrical ray-tracing with the grazing-incidence elliptical mirrors (3): (a) at the longitudinal position of the focal point; (b) 5 cm upstream from the focal point; (c) 5 cm downstream from the focal point. |
