Developments of optics for coherent X-ray applications and their role in diffraction-limited storage rings are described.
Abstract
Developments of X-ray optics for full utilization of diffraction-limited storage rings (DLSRs) are presented. The expected performance of DLSRs is introduced using the design parameters of SPring-8 II. To develop optical elements applicable to manipulation of coherent X-rays, advanced technologies on precise processing and metrology were invented. With propagation-based coherent X-rays at the 1 km beamline of SPring-8, a beryllium window fabricated with the physical-vapour-deposition method was found to have ideal speckle-free properties. The elastic emission machining method was utilized for developing reflective mirrors without distortion of the wavefronts. The method was further applied to production of diffraction-limited focusing mirrors generating the smallest spot size in the sub-10 nm regime. To enable production of ultra-intense nanobeams at DLSRs, a low-vibration cooling system for a high-heat-load monochromator and advanced diagnostic systems to characterize X-ray beam properties precisely were developed. Finally, new experimental schemes for combinative nano-analysis and spectroscopy realised with novel X-ray optics are discussed.

Wavefront measurement for a hard-X-ray nanobeam using single-grating interferometry.

TL;DR: Wavefront measurement for a hard-X-ray nanobeam using single-grating interferometry based on the Talbot effect and the Fourier transform method was demonstrated in the 1-km-long beamline of SPring-8, demonstrating good agreement with each other and with the wavefront error estimated from the shape of the deformable mirror.

On the requirements to the instrumentation for the new generation of the synchrotron radiation sources. Beryllium windows

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the high spatial and time coherency of the X-ray beam delivered at the ESRF allows one to observe very weak perturbation of the wave front, resulting in the phase contrast and undesirable speckle structure of the beam, that impose special requirements to all elements to be installed in the optical path such as beryllium windowns, filters and mirrors.
