Proceedings ArticleDOI
Active x-ray optics for the next generation of x-ray telescopes
Carolyn Atkins,Hongchang Wang,Peter Doel,David J. Brooks,Samantha Thompson,Charlotte Feldman,Richard Willingale,Tim W. Button,Daniel San-Martín,Dou Zhang,Ady James,Craig Theobald,Graham Willis,Andy D. Smith +13 more
TL;DR: The Smart X-ray Optics (SXO) project is a UK-based consortium looking at the application of active/adaptive optics to both large and small scale devices, intended for astronomical and medical purposes respectively as mentioned in this paper.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Progress on the development of active micro-structured optical arrays for x-ray optics
Daniel San-Martín,Dou Zhang,Tim W. Button,Carolyn Atkins,Peter Doel,Hongchang Wang,David J. Brooks,Charlotte Feldman,Richard Willingale,Alan Michette,Slawka J. Pfauntsch,Shahin Sahraei,Matthew Shand,Ady James,Camelia Dunare,Tom Stevenson,William Parkes,Andy D. Smith +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, an active/adaptive micro-structured optical arrays (MOAs) were designed to focus X-rays using grazing incidence reflection through consecutive aligned arrays of microscopic channels etched in silicon.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Active microstructured x-ray optical arrays

TL;DR: The UK Smart X-Ray Optics consortium is developing reflective adaptive/active x-ray optics for small-scale laboratory applications, including studies of radiation-induced damage to biological material as discussed by the authors.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The fabrication and characterisation of piezoelectric actuators for active x-ray optics
Dou Zhang,Daniel San-Martín,Tim W. Button,Carl Meggs,Carolyn Atkins,Peter Doel,David J. Brooks,Charlotte Feldman,Richard Willingale,Alan Michette,Slawka J. Pfauntsch,Shahin Sahraei,Ady James,Camelia Dunare,Tom Stevenson,William Parkes,Andy D. Smith,Hongchang Wang +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented two new prototype adaptive X-ray optical systems are underdevelopment through the Smart Xray Optics project in a UK based consortium, which uses aligned micro-channels structures obtained by deep silicon etching using both dry and wet techniques and bonded piezoelectric actuators.
