X-ray and neutron polycapillary optics: Status and perspectives
- Inst. for Roentgen Optics, Moscow (Russian Federation)
The state of the capillary optics now is characterized by the transition from solution of the purely research problems to creating of the new in essence devices on the base of this optics: diffractometers, X-ray analyzers, systems for focusing and bending of the synchrotron and neutron beams, etc. These systems have a large area (> 15 x 15 sq.cm), high spatial resolution (about 100 {micro}m), and wide dynamical range. In this paper the results of experimental investigations on polycapillary optics performed by Institute are analyzed. A new interference effect of 8 keV photons reflected from single capillaries of 0.1 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm diameters is discussed. At this stage technology of the capillary optics manufacturing is a decisive factor. The technology now is developed in two directions. On the one hand a system with the smaller capillary diameters are created. On the other hand area of these systems itself is increased already mounting to hundreds square centimeters. The wide use in the near future of devices based on the polycapillary optics not only in scientific instruments but also in medicine, microelectronics, biology, space, and so on may be forecast.
