Overview of x-ray focusing optics

• Reflective opticsWaveguide, capillary, K-B mirror w/o multilayerAchieved: ~25 nmHard limit: ~ 10 nm

• Refractive opticsCompound refractive lenses (CRLs): ~ 10 nmAdiabatically focusing lenses (AFLs): no hard limit, but has practical limit for

nanofocusingAchieved: ~50 nm

• Diffractive opticsFresnel zone plates (FZPs): fabrication limit Multilayer Laue Lenses (MLL’s): no hard limit, suitable for hard x-ray focusing

– Achieved line focus: ~16 nm– Promising for true nanometer focus– Chosen as candidate 1-nm optics for NSLS-II

• Kinoform lenses (Kenneth Evans-Lutterodt), multilayer mirrors

1-D structure allows fabrication via thin film deposition techniques

• Almost limitless aspect ratio• very small zone width (1nm)

MLL’s are capable of achieving nanometer focus with high efficiency

Multilayer-Laue-Lens (MLL)

Lithography method: • >15 nm zone width

• <30 aspect ratio (w/rn)

Limited resolution and efficiency for hard x-ray focusing:

Au, w=300 nm, efficiency=15% @ 1 keV; 0.3% @ 30 keV H. C. Kang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 127401

At optimum section depth, dynamical diffraction properties begin to dominate when the outmost zone width becomes smaller than ~ 10 nm!

A Takagi-Taupin Description of Dynamical Diffraction for Volume Diffractive Optics

• Diffraction from MLL’s is akin to that from strained single crystals.• Takagi-Taupin-similar equations can be derived for MLL’s.

Trade-off between efficiency and effective NA

• Geometrical theory becomes valid when the lens is thin enough and does not diffract “dynamically”.

• In geometrical theory, physical NA = effective NA

Can we achieve high efficiency and large effective NA simultaneously?

• Bragg condition needs to be satisfied.• Each zone is tilted progressively to satisfy the local Bragg

condition, resulting in a wedged shape.

Wedged MLL

Wedged MLL, 0.75 nm outmost zone width, WSi2/Si, energy at 19.5 keV, FWHM=0.7 nm, total efficiency=50% .

The wedged structure is an approximation to the ideal structure, but it is enough for 1-nm focusing.

Properties of 1-nm MLL optics

510/1/ NEENarrow energy bandwidth:

Short work distance: 2~3 mm, limited by the deposition techniques (accuracy and growth time)

More suitable for hard x-rays focusing (easier to fabricate)For wedged MLL’s, only within a small range around an optimum energy, which is determined from the tiling angle of the wedged structure, can its full physical NA be utilized.

14 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES

For a MLL with flat zones,

as long as f=const. the zone plate law is satisfied. However for a wedged MLL its focal length is determined by the shrinkage factor in order to satisfy the Bragg condition,

As a result, only at a specific energy the performance of a wedged MLL is optimized.

interface diffusion and uniformity)• Fast growth rate (~100 µm)• Long-term machine stability to ensure nanometer

Conclusions

• No hard theoretical limit prevents hard x-rays from being focused to 1-nm by MLL method.

• To achieve 1-nm focus with high efficiency, wedged MLL’s are required.

• There are significant technical challenges on 1-nm MLL fabrication.

• With the R&D effort, we believe that 1-nm spatial resolution is achievable.
