Controlling X-ray beam trajectory with a flexible hollow glass fibre
نویسندگان
چکیده
A metre-length flexible hollow glass fibre with 20 µm-bore and 1.5 mm-cladding diameters for transporting a synchrotron X-ray beam and controlling the trajectory has been examined. The large cladding diameter maintains a moderate curvature to satisfy the shallow glancing angle of total reflection. The observed transmission efficiency was more than 20% at 12.4 keV. As a demonstration, a wide-area scan of a synchrotron radiation beam was performed to identify the elements for a fixed metal film through its absorption spectra.

Generation of Coherent, Broadband X-Ray and Mid-IR Pulses in a Noble-Gas-Filled Hollow Waveguide
We discuss a proposed experiment on guiding of a high-repetition rate, 20 GW, CO2 laser beam in a gas-filled hollow glass waveguide. Extended interaction of the 3ps pulses with a gas Kerr medium will be used for measurements of nonlinearity at 10 um, and supercontinuum generation followed by pulse compression. Feasibility of 3-5 keV X-ray production via HHG is presented.

متن کاملMonocapillary Optics Developments and Applications
Hollow glass tubes are in use at Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) as X-ray optics in the 4 to 25 keV range to take large diameter, fairly parallel X-ray beams and compress them into smaller diameter, more divergent beams for various kinds of X-ray applications. The optics come in two forms: 1) multibounce condensing capillaries for making submicron diameter beams and 2) one-bounce...
