Versatile soft X-ray-optical cross-correlator for ultrafast applications
We present an X-ray-optical cross-correlator for the soft ([Formula: see text]) up to the hard X-ray regime based on a molybdenum-silicon superlattice. The cross-correlation is done by probing intensity and position changes of superlattice Bragg peaks caused by photoexcitation of coherent phonons. This approach is applicable for a wide range of X-ray photon energies as well as for a broad range...
متن کاملOptical design for a survey x-ray telescope
Optical design trades are underway at the Goddard Space Flight Center to define a telescope for an x-ray survey mission. Top-level science objectives of the mission include the study of x-ray transients, surveying and long-term monitoring of compact objects in nearby galaxies, as well as both deep and wide-field x-ray surveys. In this paper we consider Wolter, Wolter-Schwarzschild, and modified...
متن کاملDigital correlation hologram implemented on optical correlator
A new kind of computer-generated hologram termed digital correlation hologram (DCH) has been developed and demonstrated with promising results. This hologram is composed of two separate sub-holograms. The reconstructed image is obtained as a result of a spatial correlation between the hologram's two parts. The DCH codes two complex functions which are generated by an iterative optimization proc...
متن کاملThe Swift X-ray Telescope
The Swift Gamma-Ray Explorer is designed to make prompt multiwavelength observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and GRB afterglows. The X-ray Telescope (XRT) enables Swift to determine GRB positions with a few arcseconds accuracy within 100 seconds of the burst onset. The XRT utilizes a mirror set built for JET-X and an XMM-Newton/EPIC MOS CCD detector to provide a sensitive broad-band (0.2-10 ...
متن کاملThe Optical and Electronic Design of a Hybrid Digital/Optical Correlator System
The design of a digital-optical hybrid correlator is detailed. The optical Fourier transform lens design and mechanical lens housing are detailed as well as the video rate fast Fourier transform digital signal processing (DSP) hardware and overall electronic control. Example results using several different filters and modulation techniques are described.
