Abstract:
In this paper we analyzed possibilities and requirements of the achromatization of the X-ray diffractive and diffractive-refractive optical systems. The estimation of quality of focusing at the full and partial achromatization is executed. All results were compared with possibilities of the single diffractive lens.

Key words:
“soft” and “hard” X-rays, achromatization, diffractive lens, refractive lens, dispersion index, penetration depth, diffractive-refractive optical system, achromatic diffractive doublet.
