A planar parabolic refractive nickel lens for high-energy X-rays
نویسندگان
چکیده
A compound refractive lens made of nickel and designed for focusing high-energy synchrotron X-rays is presented. The lens consists of 600 parabolic grooves and focuses X-rays in one plane only (planar lens). The lenses made and investigated by us earlier exhibited low transmission and irregularities in the focused beam profile. Since then, improvements in lens manufacturing technology have been made. The present lens gives an almost Gaussian profile and produces four times higher intensity at its maximum compared with the intensity of primary X-ray beams of 174 keV.

The role of single element errors in planar parabolic compound refractive lenses.
The propagation of X-rays through a compound refractive lens (CRL) with imperfect CRL elements is investigated. The trajectories of random rays within the geometrical optics regime are calculated in one plane using Monte Carlo methods. Three different lenses were simulated: Be, Al and Ni lenses designed for photon energies of 20 keV, 60 keV and 175 keV, respectively. The results show that while...
متن کاملHigh resolution imaging and lithography with hard x rays using parabolic compound refractive lenses
Parabolic compound refractive lenses are high quality optical components for hard x rays. They are particularly suited for full field imaging, with applications in microscopy and x-ray lithography. Taking advantage of the large penetration depth of hard x rays, the interior of opaque samples can be imaged with submicrometer resolution. To obtain the three-dimensional structure of a sample, micr...

The planar microelectronics technology, involving lithography and highly anisotropic plasma etching techniques, allows manufacturing high quality refractive and diffractive lenses, which may be used in hard X-ray microprobe and microscopy applications. These silicon lenses are mechanically robust and can withstand high heat load of the white Xray beam at third generation synchrotron radiation s...
متن کاملParabolic lithium refractive optics for x rays
Excellent x-ray optics for photons at around 10 keV can be expected with lithium metal. One of the best compound refractive lens designs @Lengeler et al., J. Appl. Phys. 84, 5855 ~1998!# is now produced routinely in aluminum, and more recently has been demonstrated using beryllium @M. Kuhlmann et al. ~unpublished!#. Here, we report a similar refractive lens made from lithium. At 10.87 keV, this...
متن کاملSilicon saw-tooth refractive lens for high-energy X-rays made using a diamond saw
Silicon is a material well suited for refractive lenses operating at high X-ray energies (>50 keV), particularly if implemented in a single-crystal form to minimize small-angle scattering. A single-crystal silicon saw-tooth refractive lens, fabricated by a dicing process using a thin diamond wheel, was tested with 115 keV X-rays, giving an ideal 17 microm line focus width in a long focal length...
