Abstract

Modern synchrotron radiation sources are usually equipped with state-of-the-art focusing setups. In the last decade, modular arrays of compound refractive lenses, the so called transfocators, have emerged as adjustable focusing optics elements. Several arrays of more than one hundred lenses are distributed in the x-ray beam path to obtain optimal focusing; however, fully wave-optical simulations of such set-ups are still missing.We present a simple toolbox of distributed computer codes to numerically propagate an x-ray beam through a sequence of transfocators, illuminated by a point-source and a partially coherent extended source.
