Optical Systems for Soft X Rays

  • 160 Accesses

Abstract

As discussed in the previous chapters, the advances in soft X-ray optical systems have been rapid over the last few years, due to the development of intense sources, advances in manufacturing technology, and the desire to utilize the unique properties of X rays in the soft X-ray wavelength range. In this chapter the possibilities of further improvements in optical performance and additional uses of existing or improved systems will be discussed. First, however, a brief survey of advances and potential advances in soft X-ray sources will be given.
