SHADOW ray-tracing calculations using surface 48 of Table 1 over a geometrical aperture Ax of 63.600 µm. The source is a Gaussian with a root mean square width of 0.1 µm. (a, c) Profiles of source and of focal spots produced by the cubic curve, the paraxial conic section (ellipse/hyperbola) and the parabola for = +3.2×10-6 and = -3.2×10-6, respectively. (b, d) FWHM of focal spots produced by the cubic curve, the paraxial conic section (ellipse/hyperbola) and the parabola for = +3.2×10-6 and = -3.2×10-6, respectively, as a function of distance along the beam from the nominal focus.
