Abstract

A new optical ray-tracing program is presented and some applications discussed. A Monte-Carlo modelling of several types of sources is implemented, and in particular the Synchrotron Radiation source is modelled exactly. The program is written specifically for grazing optics, although gaussian optics can be treated as well. Diffraction from gratings, both ruled and holographic, is included as well as Bragg diffraction from crystals. The reflectivity of mirror surfaces and transmission of filters is treated exactly and locally, solving the Fresnel equations for each ray. The interactive nature of the program and its fast execution time allow the simulation of real-life situations quickly and efficiently. Applications to the Toroidal Grating Monochromator (TMG), Grating Crystal Monochromator (GCM), and Extended Range Grasshopper (ERG) are presented.
