Development of New Types of X-Ray and Extreme Ultraviolet Optical Devices for Diagnostics and Instrumentation for Various EBIT Applications Final Report CRADA No. TC-1378-97
This project proposed to develop compact spectrometers based on the use of Multi-layer Mirror (MLM) optical elements, which would be very efficient for guiding, focusing, and analyzing photon beams emitted from weak sources. The work conducted under this CRADA involved development, construction, and testing of several optical devices for the LLNL EBIT facility. These optical devices included the following: A. Compact spectrometer for the wavelength range 12.4 to 25.0 nm (soft X-ray) based on Sliced Multi-1ayer Grating (SMG). The spectrometer is a Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) compatible with resolution 200 to 500 and is designed with several fixed adjustable entrance slits. B. Compact spectrometer for the wavelength range 12.4 to 25 nm (soft X-ray) based on a Sliced Multi-1ayer Grating (SMG) for ion-surface and ion trap studies. The spectrometer had resolution 200 to 500 and is UHV-compatible. C. Soft X-ray and EUV Spectrometer/Polarimeter for the wavelength range 20.0 to 40.0 nm based on a Multi-1ayer Mirror (MLM). The spectrometer has a resolution 10 to 30. D. Compact Grazing Incidence Spectrometer for the wavelength range 5.0 to 45.0 nm (EUV and SXR). This spectrometer has a resolution 500 to 800. E. Soft X-ray imaging system/Microscope for ion-surface interaction and ion trap experiments. This imaging system will also be used with the spectrometer described in B above. The completion of the project was substantially delayed due to CRADA confirmation and fund administration. The EUV imaging system has been delivered. Acspect set up a testing facility for investigation of the spectrometers to be delivered by the Moscow X-ray group from the Lebedev Physical Institute. Originally, Acspect anticipated using glass capillary converters. However, in our current modified design, these optical elements are not necessary.
