Summary

Mistuned sagittal diffractive-refractive X-ray lenses (DRXL) show low sensitivity to component misalignment. Simulations indicate parabolic and cylindrical DRXLs perform similarly with comparable linear source sizes and lens acceptance.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • X-ray Optics
  • Diffractive Optics

Background:

  • Diffractive-refractive X-ray lenses (DRXLs) are crucial optical elements for X-ray applications.
  • Understanding the impact of manufacturing imperfections and alignment errors is vital for optimizing DRXL performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of mistuning and misalignment on the performance of sagittal DRXLs.
  • To compare the performance of DRXLs with ideal and approximate profiles, specifically parabolic and cylindrical designs.

Main Methods:

  • Ray-tracing simulations were employed to model DRXLs.
  • Characteristic aberrations due to crystal misalignments in one-crystal and four-crystal DRXLs were analyzed.
  • Performance comparison between parabolic and cylindrical DRXLs was conducted.

Main Results:

  • DRXLs exhibit low sensitivity to the mutual misalignment of their components.
  • Simulations revealed that parabolic and cylindrical DRXLs perform nearly identically when the linear source size matches the lens acceptance.

Conclusions:

  • Sagittal DRXLs are robust to minor misalignments, simplifying their practical implementation.
  • The choice between parabolic and cylindrical profiles for DRXLs may be less critical under specific source size conditions.
