Soft & Hard X-ray Optics Design & Computation
Our optics specialists can provide consultancy on the optical design of soft and hard X-ray devices as synchrotron and laboratory beamlines and experimental stations. The monochromators and mirror systems for soft and hard X-ray of various kinds have been proposed and designed.
Influence of different factors (slope errors, misalignment, design parameters) can be studied in respect to the spectral resolving power and transmission of the apparatus in question. Our parametric ray tracing program can compare easily many design variations.
Heat load of the optical element at the third generation radiation sources can cause often distortions of the optical surfaces. One can model the effect of the heat load on the optical element with Finite element program and evaluate parasitic slope errors.
Using analytical as well as numerical approaches, one can evaluate behavior of optical systems with:
- bending magnet sources
- insertion devices as undulators and wigglers
- laboratory sources as X-ray tube
- grazing mirror optics with plane, spherical and aspherical figures and slope errors
- diffractive elements as plane, spherical and toroidal gratings with slope errors
- unbent and bent Bragg’s crystals
- slits of different shapes.
