Some Considerations on UV Optics for Synchrotron Radiation

摘要

Special problems of radiation shorter than about 2000A are discussed. Basic optics principles are reviewed, including the critical angle, total reflection, ''order sorting,'' and mirror configuration. The power present in the beam of synchrotron radiation is considered. Ray tracing mirrors and gratings is addressed in some detail. Finally, ray tracing is applied to a hypothetical toroidal grating monochromator. 6 figures. (ERA citation 04:020905)
