Multiple-Wave Diffraction in High Energy Resolution Back-Reflecting X-Ray Optics
- Brookhaven National Lab. (BNL), Upton, NY (United States)
We have studied the effects of multiple-wave diffraction in a novel optical scheme recently published by Shvyd'ko et al. utilizing Bragg diffraction of x rays in backscattering geometry from asymmetrically cut crystals for achieving energy resolutions beyond the intrinsic width of the Bragg reflection. Here, by numerical simulations based on dynamic x-ray diffraction and by experimentation involving two dimensional angular scans of the back-reflecting crystal, multiple-wave diffraction was found to contribute up to several tens percent loss of efficiency but can be avoided without degrading the energy resolution of the original scheme by careful choice of azimuthal orientation of the diffracting crystal surface and by tilting of the crystal perpendicular to the dispersion plane.
