Figure 10
Strehl ratio from numerical simulations and from the application of different approximations [equations (6) to (8)] as a function of the figure error σz from a lens stack made of beryllium illuminated at 8 keV. The vertical dashed black line indicates the maximum tolerable thickness [equation (10)] for complying with the Maréchal criterion [equation (9)], that is, σλ/14 ≃ 2.08 µm. The partially coherent simulations were performed with 104 wavefronts. |
