Commercial Diamond X-Ray Lenses: Current Status | |
|
||
|
Next-generation light sources necessitate the use of x-ray optical components capable of handling high power densities. Diamond, with its exceptional thermal and mechanical properties, is an ideal material for refractive focusing optics. Polished diamond x-ray lenses exhibit minimal background scattering. Over the past several years, we have been engaged in the development of a production process for x-ray refractive diamond lenses. Simultaneously, numerous other research groups have been pursuing variations of this task. Recently, we have entered the commercial market, offering diamond lenses for sale. Some geometries have undergone extensive testing, such as at the ESRF [1], demonstrating focusing performance comparable to industry-standard beryllium lenses. However, due to the complexity of the production process, certain geometries are still undergoing fabrication development and beamline testing. Our process utilizes high-precision femtosecond laser ablation in combination with the chemical mechanical polishing. This poster reviews our current progress, outline the parameter space for laser ablation and polishing of 1D and 2D lenses.
