I want to shock the foil from both sides. However, the laser will only hit the foil when the xlens position is negative. You will likely need more information but below is the setup for my two beams. Beam 1 hits the target fine. Beam 2 does not seem to hit the target. The target sits between 140 and 160 um in the simulation. Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>John<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>### SETUP LASER BEAM ###<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_numberOfBeams = 2<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>#setup beam 1:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_lensX_1 = -1000.0e-04<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_targetX_1 = 140.0e-04<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_pulseNumber_1 = 1<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_wavelength_1 = 1.053<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_crossSectionFunctionType_1 = "uniform"<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_numberOfRays_1 = 1<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_gridType_1 = "regular1D"<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_gridnRadialTics_1 = 1<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>#setup beam 2:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_lensX_2 = 1000.0e-04<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_targetX_2 = 160.0e-04<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_pulseNumber_2 = 1<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_wavelength_2 = 1.053<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_crossSectionFunctionType_2 = "uniform"<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_numberOfRays_2 = 1<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_gridType_2 = "regular1D"<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>ed_gridnRadialTics_2 = 1<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
