摘要

Based on ray-tracing procedures/techniques, we have carried out simulations on the operation of (i) a toroidal mirror used along with a vacuum ultraviolet scanning monochromator and (ii) variable line spacing gratings such as those used in flat-field spectrometers. In case (i), a toroidal mirror was installed in the optical beam line for normal incidence spectroscopy at the Shanghai electron beam ion trap (EBIT) (Zou Y and Hutton R 2005 Phys. Scr. T120 47) based on simulation results. Case (2) yielded results that can be used in aligning flat-field spectrometers; the results of the simulations were tested by experiment and were found to be in good agreement.
