After determining the r, z, and focus off set
values, you need to add 180° to the stated azimuthal (phi) value given in the port position
menu to make the beam cross over the z
axis before hitting the halfraum wall (Figures 5 and 6)
Figure 5: Beam position with beam’s original azimuthal value.
Figure 6: Beam position after
adding 180° to the stated
azimuthal value. Note that is crosses the z-axis. (z-axis
is into the page)
