Presentation details

» Adjustable Grazing Incidence Optics for X-ray Astronomy

Presentation duration: 30 minutes

Presenter: Paul Reid

Two different types of adjustable grazing incidence optics are being developed at CfA; thin film piezo electric devices designed to achieve 1 to 0.1 arcsec imaging resolution of mirror segments, and radial electrostrictive devices for 3 - 5 arcsec imaging resolution of full shell electroformed metal optics. We describe the results of mirror modeling, piezo deposition experiments, and some early work on the measurement of adjuster influence functions.
