Abstract

Spectrograph designs are presented that utilize a transmission sliced multilayer as a diffraction and focusing element. The multilayer utilizes the coincidence of Bragg and diffraction orders to achieve higher efficiency and resolution than a conventional grating. Traditionally, the lattice spacing in a crystal is used to achieve dispersion in the x-ray region. However, a multilayer as a diffraction element has some significant advantages. The layer thicknesses can be adjusted for any wavelength and for any angle of incidence. The transmission sliced multilayer is a dispersion element that satisfies the desirable properties of spectroscopy: high dispersion, high throughput, and high resolution. The sliced multilayer grating with a variable period can be used for both dispersion and imaging. Designs are studied for 17 keV and 34 keV with applications in mammography and IC chip inspection.
