Extreme ultraviolet polarizing optics using bare and aluminum-coated silicon carbide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A deformable three-reflection system that uses a bare silicon carbide substrate can function as an in-line, high-throughput (>30%), 90° phase shifter in the 50-100 nm spectral range. For a given extreme ultraviolet wavelength, an aluminum thin film can be deposited on the silicon carbide substrate to suppress the parallel (p) or perpendicular (s) polarization on single reflection or to introduce quarter-wave retardation and equal reflectances for incident p- and s-polarized light.

Phase effects owing to multilayer coatings in a two-mirror extreme-ultraviolet schwarzschild objective.
The aberrations of a multilayer-coated reflective Schwarzschild objective, which are influenced both by mirror surface profiles and by multilayer coatings, are evaluated with a phase-shifting point diffraction interferometer operating in the extreme ultraviolet. Using wave-front measurements at multiple wavelengths near 13.4 nm, we observed chromatic aberrations and wavelength-dependent transmi...
متن کاملMo/B4C/Si multilayer-coated photodiode with polarization sensitivity at an extreme-ultraviolet wavelength of 13.5 nm.
A silicon photodiode coated with an interface-engineered Mo/Si multilayer was developed as a polarization sensitive detector. The Mo/B4C/Si multilayer was designed to reflect 13.5-nm extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) radiation at an incident angle of 45 degrees, at which the maximum polarization sensitivity occurs. The sensitivity of this specially coated photodiode and its polarization responses were ...
متن کاملProcessing and Characterization of Aluminium - Silver Coated MWCNT Composite Made By Vacuum Hot Pressing
In this research work, Al 1wt% silver coated multi wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite have been processed using powder metallurgy technique. In order to distribute CNT uniformly in the aluminum matrix high energy ball milling is required. . It was found that excessive milling can lead to carbide and alumina formation. So to reduce the milling time, the surface of CNT is modified by coating ...

BACKGROUND Critical limb ischemia is an increasingly common condition that has high surgical morbidity and limited non-surgical options. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the use of silicon carbide-coated Motion stents, as compared to reported data for bare metal stents, in elderly patients with infrapopliteal artery stenoses causing critical limb ischemia after failed or complicated percutaneous transl...
