Collimation of a Spherical Wave by an Off-Axis Parabolic Mirror
Abstract
This use case presents a simulation of a spherical wave collimated by an off-axis parabolic (OAP) mirror with different off-axis angle configurations. In addition, the effects of misalignment due to incorrect OAP tilt were analyzed to assess system sensitivity.
