Abstract
Systems and methods of providing X-ray optics are described. The optics are formed from CVD thin film diamond. The optics lave three sections that include a tip on which X-rays impinge, a base, and an intermediate section connecting the base and the tip. The intermediate section tapers from the base to the tip. The base has a substantially larger thickness than the tip. The base is disposed within a holder that securely retains the optics to provide vibration control, while the tip is thin enough to provide thermal management and reduce crystal strain.
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- a diamond structure comprising:
- a base having a first non-zero height, a first non-zero thickness, and a first non-zero width,
- a tip having a second non-zero height, a second non-zero thickness, and a first non-zero width, and
- an intermediate section connecting the base and the tip,
- the intermediate section tapering from the base to the tip,
- the diamond structure having dimensions suitable for x-ray optics in which the tip has dimensions configured to receive x-rays that impinge on the tip in a thickness direction of the tip.
