Nanostructured Diffractive Optics – New Opportunities at Small Wavelengths

Abstract

X-rays are powerful tools for investigating new materials and biological specimens. Their high penetration depth and chemical sensitivity allow for unique insights into nanostructures and complex samples. We will showcase recent developments in fabricating diffractive optics, such as ultra-high resolution lenses, blazed gratings and transmission achromatic optics. We will also highlight advancements in our startup company, XRnanotech, towards increasing the performance and applicability of diffractive optics.
