The FZP_simple Component

Fresnel zone-plate as a thin object approximation.

Identification

Description

A simple phenomenological thin-object approximation of a Fresnel Zone Plate.
This component was adapted for neutrons from the original component
written for helium scattering.
The focal length of the Zone Plate is determined by the formula:
\[f = 2*r*dr/(lambda)\]
If a diffraction order other than 1 is wanted the focal distance is scaled accordingly.

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
