Fabrication, testing, and performance of a variable-focus x-ray compound lens

چکیده
Design, fabrication, testing, and performance of an x-ray lens assembly are described. The assembly consists of a number of precisely stacked and aligned parts, each of which is a section of an extruded aluminum piece having 16 parabolic cavities. The wall thickness between adjacent cavities is 0.2 mm. By stacking a number of long, extruded parts and cutting the assembly diagonally, a variable-focus lens system is devised. Moving the lens horizontally allows the incident beam to pass through fewer or more cavities focusing the emerging beam at any desired distance from the lens.

Design 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...

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 کاملCompound refractive lenses as prefocusing optics for X-ray FEL radiation
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 be...
