In this article, a different use of polycapillary optics is presented to achieve an efficient radiation collimation due to handled beam profiling that avoids the typical one based on total external reflection into the capillary channel, where a vibration is applied to a monocapillary in order to emulate a virtual roughness on the channel internal wall surface.
Abstract
A novel study on a different use of polycapillary optics is presented. The scope of this study is to achieve an efficient radiation collimation due to handled beam profiling that avoids the typical one based on total external reflection into the capillary channel. For this purpose a vibration is applied to a monocapillary in order to emulate a “virtual roughness” on the channel internal wall surface. The transmission properties of such a system for different vibrational states are discussed.

Focusing Polycapillary Optics and Their Applications

TL;DR: The focusing effects of polycapillary optics come from the overlap of the beams from thousands of small hollow glass tubes as discussed by the authors, which yields high gains in intensity and increased spatial resolution for a variety of clinical, lab-based, synchrotron or in situ analysis applications.

Divergence behavior due to surface channeling in capillary optics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results on x-ray scattering at grazing angles inside capillaries, which has been explained in the framework of the wave scattering theory by a decrease in the beam divergence behind the capillary structures.
