» X-ray Optics: Wolter versus KB

Presentation duration: 15 minutes

Presenter: Veronika Marsikova

We present recent development in Si/glass X-ray optics design and development in RITE/CTU Prague. We have compared gold coated KB system with focal lengths 20 and 40 meters with corresponding Wolter type system. Off axis imaging computer simulations and optimization of focal lengths of vertical mirrors independently on horizontal mirrors was performed. It shows that focal lengths have to be distinct, yet the difference is close to manufacturing limits. KB modules based on silicon and glass substrates are manufactured. Methodology of testing of long-focal optics is proposed and first tests using visible light are performed.
