Multilayer Optics And X-ray

A compact x-ray laser driver with a high repetition rate is the subject of this phase I project. Most existing x-ray laser drivers are huge (1000s of square feet of floor space), expensive ($10,000,00 ...

QUALITY X-RAY OPTICS WILL BE A KEY FACTOR IN THE SUCCESS OF X-RAY IMAGING APPLICATIONS SUCH AS X-RAY LITHOGROPHY, X-RAY LASERS, X-RAY MICROSCOPES, AND X-RAY SPECTROSCOPY. MULTI-LAYER LAMELLAR GRATINGS ...

THE NEED FOR GREATER STABILITY IN QUARTZ RESONATORS REQUIRES FABRICATION TECHNIQUES THAT PRODUCE FEWER DEFECTS. THE LIMITS OF CURRENT FABRICATION TECHNIQUES TO DECREASE DEFECTS HAS BEEN REACHED. WE PR ...

ALTHOUGH ENERGY DISPERSIVE SPECTROMETERS ARE STANDARD ON MANY ANALYTICAL ELECTRON MICROSCOPES, WAVELENGTH DISPERSIVE (WDS) X-RAY SPECTROMETRY HAS THE ADVANTAGES OF HIGH RESOLUTION AND SENSITIVITY TO A ...

THE APPROACH IN THIS PROJECT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF PRODUCING ASPHERIC MIRRORS WITH ORDER-OF-MAGNITUDE IMPROVEMENTS IN TWO KEY AREAS: FIRST, IN SURFACE FINISH, FIGURE, AND LIGHTNESS FOR SMALL- AND MEDIU ...

MULTILAYER COATINGS VASTLY IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF MOST X-RAY OPTICAL ELEMENTS AND ALLOW OPERATION AT ANGLES AND WAVELENGTHS OTHERWISE INACCESSIBLE. THEY HAVE BEEN USED SUCCESSFULLY IN ANALYTICAL I ...
