2D MEMS-based multilayer Laue lens nanofocusing optics for high-resolution hard x-ray microscopy
We report on the development of 2D integrated multilayer Laue lens (MLL) nanofocusing optics used for high-resolution x-ray microscopy. A Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) - based template has been designed and fabricated to accommodate two linear MLL optics in pre-aligned configuration. The orthogonality requirement between two MLLs has been satisfied to a better than 6 millidegrees level, and the separation along the x-ray beam direction was controlled on a micrometer scale. Developed planar 2D MLL structure has demonstrated astigmatism free point focus of ~14 nm by ~13 nm in horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, at 13.6 keV photon energy. Approaching 10 nm resolution with integrated 2D MLL optic is a significant step forward in applications of multilayer Laue lenses for high-resolution hard x-ray microscopy and their adoption by the general x-ray microscopy community.
