Abstract:
The main principles and some applications of Bragg-Fresnel multilayer optics and X-ray supermirrors are described. An elliptical Bragg-Fresnel multilayer lens (BFML), designed and fabricated in the IMT RAS has been used for 2-dimensional focusing of the white X-ray synchrotron beam. For the beam energy of about 12 KeV the spot size checked with the knife edge method was about 1μm. Applications of BFML and supermirrors in x-ray imaging are discussed.
