Top: back-traced spot pattern for the diffracted beam at the position of the distant virtual line source according to equation (12) at a distance of Y2 = −64.69 m upstream of the grating for the parameters reported in Fig. 6. For a comparison with Fig. 6 (top) one has to recognize that the displayed window presents half of the apparent opening angle in comparison with the apparent opening angle of the displayed window in Fig. 6. Bottom: spot pattern from the top after rotation of the window by θ2 = −59.75°, i.e. by 59.75° counterclockwise (25 000 rays). For a comparison of this pattern with the pattern at the bottom of Fig. 6 one has to recognize that both displayed windows present the same apparent opening angle in the vertical direction. |
