Compound refractive lenses as prefocusing optics for X-ray FEL radiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of X-ray free-electron laser beamlines may be limited by the angular aperture. Compound refractive lenses (CRLs) can be employed to prefocus the X-ray beam, thereby increasing the beamline transmission. A prefocusing CRL was implemented in the X-ray transport of the Matter under Extreme Conditions Instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source. A significant improvement in the beamline transmission was calculated over the 3-10 keV photon energy range. At 5 keV, the relative X-ray intensity was measured and a factor of four increase was seen in the beamline transmission. The X-ray focus was also determined by the ablation imprint method.

X-ray focusing with compound lenses made from beryllium.
We have measured the intensity profile and transmission of x rays focused by a series of biconcave spherical unit lenses fabricated from beryllium. The use of beryllium extends the range of operation of compound refractive lenses, improving transmission, aperture size, and gain. The compound refractive lens was composed of 160 biconcave unit lenses, each with a radius of curvature of 1.9 mm. Tw...
متن کاملSingle Crystal Diamond X-ray Lens Development
The next generation light sources such as diffractionlimited storage rings and high repetition rate free electron lasers (FELs) will generate x-ray beams with significantly increased peak and average brilliance. These future facilities will require x-ray optical components capable of handling large instantaneous and average power densities while tailoring the properties of the x-ray beams for a...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of Compound Refractive X-ray Lenses for CHESS
It has long been thought that focusing x-rays with refractive optics was inefficient, if not impossible. Recent developments, however, indicate this is not so. In this paper, we present our work which consisted of designing, building, and testing several compound refractive x-ray lenses for the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). We have achieved a gain of 2.5 with one such lens, wh...
متن کاملNanofocusing optics for synchrotron radiation made from polycrystalline diamond.
Diamond possesses many extreme properties that make it an ideal material for fabricating nanofocusing x-ray optics. Refractive lenses made from diamond are able to focus x-ray radiation with high efficiency but without compromising the brilliance of the beam. Electron-beam lithography and deep reactive-ion etching of silicon substrates have been used in a transfer-molding technique to fabricate...
متن کاملAt-wavelength metrology of x-ray optics at Diamond Light Source
Modern, third-generation synchrotron radiation sources provide coherent and extremely bright beams of X-ray radiation. The successful exploitation of such beams depends to a significant extent on imperfections and misalignment of the optics employed on the beamlines. This issue becomes even more critical with the increasing use of active optics, and the desire to achieve diffraction-limited and...
