Plane Mirror

A Plane Mirror is amongst the simplest Elements you can include in your beamline. The Surface is flat and reflective as described by the material.

Tracing Parameter

Mandatory:

• Reflectivity Type (see more in chapter Optical Elements)
• Slope Error
• World Position
• Misalignment

Cutout:

• Geometrical Shape
• Total Width
• Total Length

RML Object

To track a Plane Mirror using an RML File, you'll require an XML Object to encompass all the mirror details. The default mirror setup from RAY-UI is provided here for your convenience. Remember, successful tracing requires you to specify a Light Source first. We suggest adding an Imageplane at the end for clearer results.
