Synchrotron X-Ray Optics
Abstract
Most X-ray optics for use at synchrotron beamlines are structured to achieve a desired performance level. The fabrication steps needed to achieve a certain structure usually limit the final performance, such as for energy resolution and focus size. This review illustrates this point for monochromators, mirrors, multilayers, and zone plates, with a special emphasis on focusing optics because these provide some of the best examples of structuring. Elliptically shaped mirrors, Fresnel zone plates, and multilayer Laue lenses are reviewed.
