    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • X-ray Optics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Microchannel plates (MCPs) are utilized for X-ray detection and imaging.
    • The focusing properties of MCPs arise from the principle of total external reflection of X-rays within their channels.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the X-ray focusing capabilities of a microchannel plate (MCP) detector blank.
    • To validate a theoretical model for MCP X-ray focusing performance.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an MCP detector blank to focus X-rays at wavelengths of 0.154, 0.62, and 0.84 nm.
    • Generated X-rays using a microfocus X-ray tube and a laser-produced plasma.
    • Measured intensity profiles of focused X-ray images and compared them with a predictive model.

    Main Results:

    • The MCP detector blank demonstrated effective X-ray focusing at all tested wavelengths.
    • Experimental intensity profiles closely matched the predictions of the detailed model.
    • A consistent set of model parameters provided reliable fits to the data across the different wavelengths.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed model accurately describes the X-ray focusing behavior of MCPs.
    • MCPs are reliable X-ray focusing optics, with performance predictable by the validated model.
