Rotated-inclined double-crystal monochromator for synchrotron radiation: aberration and its compensation
1Institute of Physics, Czech Academy of Sciences, Na Slovance 2, 18040 Praha 8, Czech Republic.
Abstract:
A rotated-inclined double-crystal X-ray monochromator was designed for high-power undulator beamlines for SPring-8 to reduce the impinging radiation power density. Recently, it has been shown that an inclined double-crystal monochromator suffers from a certain type of geometrical aberration that may be relatively easily compensated. In this paper, it is shown that a similar aberration exists also in the case of rotated-inclined monochromators and that as in the inclined case the aberration may also be compensated.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
