NOTES

  1. The profiles are b&w .gif images typically 13 KB in size
  2. Vertical scale is ±5 cm corresponding to the system's free aperture - horizontal scale varies and is typically ~10 m
  3. The vertical lines represent elements and are labeled M1 for a focussing mirror, L1 for a focussing lens, P1 for a port, and no label for a flat mirror
  4. The profiles are governed by diffraction from the hole couplers and generally represent the first zero of the hole's far-field diffraction pattern [J1(x)/x]2
  5. Port 7 on the plots is really port 8 since a new port was added
  6. Sorry if the plots are larger than a typical computer screen. If / when time permits, I will make smaller ones.
