Publikováno v: Optics for EUV, X-Ray, and Gamma-Ray Astronomy X.

Silicon Pore Optics (SPO) have been chosen as the X-ray optics technology for the European Space Agency's Athena mission. Although in principle SPO can be used to realize classical Wolter-I or Wolter-Schwarzschild systems, technological and manufactu

We have designed and modeled a novel optical system composed of a Laue lens coupled to an x-ray tube that produces a focused beam in an energy range near 100 keV (λ = 12.4 picometer). One application of this system is radiation therapy where it coul
