Comparison of focusing optics for femtosecond X-ray diffraction
We characterize and compare four different types of focusing optics for hard X-rays, suitable for femtosecond X-ray diffraction experiments, using a tabletop femtosecond laser-based plasma source. We demonstrate a 23μm focus with a toroidally bent Ge single crystal. A maximum flux of 7 × 108 photons/(s mm2) is generated in a 32μm focus using a multi-layer mirror. An elliptical glass capillary y...
متن کاملTextbook for hard X-ray focusing with Kirkpatrick-Baez optics
1. Background Currently, grand-scale synchrotron radiation facilities, where high-quality X-ray sources are available in wide energy ranges from the softto hardX-ray regions, have significantly advanced the performance characteristics of analytical technologies using the fluorescence, absorption and diffraction effects of X-rays in various materials. The application of X-ray microscopy with the...
متن کاملA focusing telescope for gamma-ray astronomy
With the development of the Laue Lens, gamma-ray astronomy is presently realizing the step that virtually all branches of astronomy have accomplished since Lippershey’s invention 400 years ago: the focusing telescope. In a Laue lens, gamma-rays interact coherently inside a crystal via Bragg-diffraction; a large number of diffraction crystals are oriented in a way to deviate incident photons ont...
متن کاملAn X-ray polarimeter for hard X-ray optics
Development of multi-layer optics makes feasible the use of X-ray telescope at energy up to 60-80 keV: in this paper we discuss the extension of photoelectric polarimeter based on Micro Pattern Gas Chamber to high energy X-rays. We calculated the sensitivity with Neon and Argon based mixtures at high pressure with thick absorption gap: placing the MPGC at focus of a next generation multi-layer ...
متن کاملAdaptive Optics for Astronomy
Adaptive Optics is a prime example of how progress in observational astronomy can be driven by technological developments. At many observatories it is now considered to be part of a standard instrumentation suite, enabling ground-based telescopes to reach the diffraction limit and thus providing spatial resolution superior to that achievable from space with current or planned satellites. In thi...
