LOPSIMUL: High computing rate numerical simulator of multi-foil reflective optical systems

The poster presents description of LOPSIMUL ray-tracing simulation software that offers extremely high computational rate. LOPSIMUL has not a specific requirements for computer hardware and the computing time is less than one second or few seconds on a common personal computer. The software is optimized for lobster eye reflective optics (Angel as well as Schmidt variants) and various types of multi-foil optics. These systems are commonly used for X-rays. As the optimization supposes a specific optics design, the software cannot be used for a generic optics. Lopsimul draws focal image and x and y profiles. LOPSIMUL calculates FWHM, effective collecting area and other principal results.

Abstract

The poster presents description of LOPSIMUL ray-tracing simulation software that offers extremely high computational rate. LOPSIMUL has not a specific requirements for computer hardware and the computing time is less than one second or few seconds on a common personal computer. The software is optimized for lobster eye reflective optics (Angel as well as Schmidt variants) and various types of multi-foil optics. These systems are commonly used for X-rays. As the optimization supposes a specific optics design, the software cannot be used for a generic optics. Lopsimul draws focal image and x and y profiles. LOPSIMUL calculates FWHM, effective collecting area and other principal results.
