Efficiency of grazing incidence optics: the spiral collimator

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Geometric properties and construction of the spiral collimator are discussed. The expression for the efficiency of power conversion of a divergent soft x-ray point source into a parallel beam is obtained. The efficiency of the spiral collimator is shown to be up to 30–90% in the whole soft x-ray spectral range. This efficiency is limited only by the fundamental reason: x-ray radiation absorption in the mirror coating of the spiral collimator. In this sense, the spiral collimator is more effective than any known x-ray optical collimation system with one or manifold reflections.
