Features of multilayer mirror application for focusing and collimating X-rays from inverse Compton scattering sources

We have analysed the use of X-ray interference multilayer mirrors as the elements of a focusing scheme for a compact source based on inverse Compton scattering. An algorithm is proposed for selecting mirror parameters, which takes into account the properties of the radiation source. The dependence of wavelength on the viewing angle and the energy line broadening for a fixed viewing angle are found to be the main limitations in the use of multilayer mirrors. Efficient radiation collection calls for the application of broadband mirrors. It is shown that the efficiency of multilayer mirrors in a Kirkpatrick – Baez X-ray focusing setup exceeds that of total external reflection mirrors by an order of magnitude, and that stack multilayer mirrors offer a small advantage over the periodic ones. The overall efficiency of source radiation collection in the photon energy range ΔE = 10 – 12 keV amounts to 12 % for the two-mirror Kirkpatrick – Baez setup. For a spectral region with a bandwidth ΔE/E = 3 %, the efficiency ranges up to 69 %. (paper)

Measurement Error of Interferometers with Diffraction Reference Wave

An experimental setup and results on aberration of sources of a reference spherical wave (SRSW) based on a single-mode optical fiber with a subwavelength output aperture obtained with the aid of an optical part of recording system (OPRS) are presented. SRSW and OPRS are developed for referenceless interferometer with diffraction reference wave. Methods for minimization of the measurement error are proposed. The SRSW and OPRS provide subnanometer measurement accuracy for optics. An increase in the measurement accuracy of the interferometer to a picometer level is discussed.

Simulation of Local Error Correction of the Surface Shape by a Low-Dimensional Ion Beam

We propose an algorithm for solving the problem of local error correction of the surface shape by a low-dimensional ion beam. The algorithm presumes successive sampling running over protrusions relative to the average height aimed at searching for the optimal etching point satisfying the criterion for the reduction of the sum of derivative moduli on the etching spot. It is shown that the new approach makes it possible to considerably extend the range of spatial frequencies accessible to the action for a given dimension of an ion beam.

Beryllium as a Material for Thermally Stable X-Ray Mirrors

Thermophysical and mechanical characteristics of beryllium are compared with the corresponding characteristics of promising materials that are used for fabrication of precision mirrors working under high-intensity electromagnetic irradiation. Advantages and prospects for application of beryllium in the third- and fourth-generation synchrotrons are discussed. An original method for fabrication of ultrasmooth surfaces of beryllium substrates is presented, and limiting roughnesses are reported. Reflectances at a wavelength of 13.5 nm are determined for a multilayer Mo/Si mirror deposited on the beryllium substrate. Prospects for improving quality of polishing of beryllium substrates are discussed.
