X-Ray Optics of Arrays of Reflective Surfaces

  • Chapter
Laser Interaction and Related Plasma Phenomena

Abstract

We present a new way of focusing X-rays by capillary arrays, using total external reflection at grazing angles from the interior surfaces of hollow channels1–4 . Thin Bragg-difraction curved crystals can also be used in a transmissive mode to focus X-rays5 and the crystal netplanes can be considered as arrays of reflective surfaces.
