Single Pore as part of the Silicon Pore Optics (SPO) as envisioned for the ATHENA+ space telescope.

Origin: DTU Physics, DTU Space
Date: Feb. 2016
A single pore is simulated, which may have thick walls. The top and bottom are curved cylindrically azimuthally, and according to the Wolter I optic lengthwise (sagitally). This is the hyperbolic part. The azimuthal curvature is defined by the radius parameters.
To intersect the Wolter I plates we take advatage of the azimuthal symmetry and only consider the radial component of the photon’s wavevector.
Example: MM_h( pore_th=0, ring_nr=1, Z0=12, pore_width=0.83e-3, pore_height=0.605e-3, chamfer_width=0.17e-3, mirror_reflec=”mirror_coating_unity.txt”, R_d=0, size_file=”ref_design_breaks.txt”)
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
