Characterizing the hard x-ray diffraction properties of a GaAs linear Bragg–Fresnel lens

چکیده
We investigated the diffractive focusing properties of ~111! GaAs linear Bragg–Fresnel lenses ~BFLs! developed for hard x-ray microscopy and microdiffraction of complex materials in confined geometries. We demonstrated that the use of GaAs yields significant processing advantages due to the reduced zone depth. Focal plane diffraction patterns of linear BFLs measured at the advanced photon source using 8–40 keV x rays were compared to a simple model based on Kirchhoff–Fresnel diffraction theory. Good agreement was obtained between experimental data and model calculations using only zones within an effective aperture defined by the transverse coherence of the source. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~00!00929-3#

Sharp-focusing Bragg-Fresnel zone plate with Laue diffraction geometry.
The impact of decreased zone height on the focal properties of hard X-ray Bragg-Fresnel zone plates has been studied by numerical simulation. Decreased zone height allows for smaller zone widths and, although the efficiency of the lens is decreased, the signal-to-background ratio in the focal plane of the lens remains at a comparatively high level. This is distinct from an analogous case of ord...

We analyse the possibilities of using a new kind of Bragg Fresnel Multilayer Lens that we have designed in order to improve image contrastIl1. We discuss the aberrations and the dynamical properties of this lens on the base of a recently developed dynamical theory[zI and of the data from the first imaging tests that we have performed. The principle of the optimal configuration for utilisation o...
متن کاملHigh resolution Bragg-Fresnel optics for nanometer scale methods with soft X-rays
The main principles and some applications of Bragg-Fresnel multilayer optics are described. An elliptical Bragg-Fresnel multilayer lens (BFML), designed and fabricated in the IMT RAS has been used for Zdimensional focusing of the white X-ray synchrotron beam. For the beam energy of about 12 KeV the spot size checked with the knife edge method was about lpm. As an example of a successful applica...

2014 The paper describes the principles and theoretical models of new X-ray optical elements based on the behaviour of Bragg-Fresnel diffraction. The use of volume diffraction permits one to achieve better spatial resolution compared with conventional plane optics and bending mirrors. The construction of Bragg-Fresnel elements combines the advantages of high-resolution Fresnel optics with stabi...
