Compound-refractive lenses (CRL) are a type of x-ray optics that find widespread applications as focusing and imaging lenses. The choice of material is one of the most defining properties of these lenses. In this work, we present a CRL made…

Next-generation, high-brilliance x-ray photon sources call for new x-ray optics. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of using monolithic diamond channel-cut crystals as high-heat-load, beam-multiplexing, narrow-band, mechanically-stable…

The advent of 4$^\text{th}$ generation high-energy synchrotron facilities (ESRF-EBS and the planned APS-U, PETRA-IV and SPring-8 II) and free-electron lasers (Eu-XFEL and SLAC) allied with the recent demonstration of high-quality free-form…

An array of compound refractive X-ray lenses (CRL) with 20x20 lenslets, a focal distance of 20 cm and a visibility of 0.93 is presented. It can be used as a Shack-Hartmann sensor for hard X-rays (SHARX) for wavefront sensing and permits for…

Compound refractive lenses (CRL) offer outstanding potential for probe formation in X-ray micro- and nano-analysis as well as for imaging applications, but effective aberration-free focusing of X-rays is a key consideration when high…

A double-crystal diamond (111) monochromator recently implemented at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) enables splitting of the primary X-ray beam into a pink (transmitted) and a monochromatic (reflected) branch. The first…

This work presents the design, fabrication, and experimental validation of a refractive diamond axicon for X-ray beam shaping. The diamond axicon was developed to overcome the limitations of polymer-based axicons particularly for…

We present high quality bi-concave 2D focusing diamond x-ray lenses of apex-radius $R=100~\mu$m produced via laser-ablation and improved via a mechanical polishing process. Both for polished and unpolished individual lenses and for stacks…

Thick diffractive optical elements offer a promising way to achieve focusing or imaging at a resolution approaching 1 nm for X-ray wavelengths shorter than about 0.1 nm. Efficient focusing requires that these are fabricated with structures…

Aluminum single crystals are tested using X-Ray Bragg diffraction, which may have applications in microscopy and electronics fabrication industry. Yet, their efficiency for x- ray beam diffraction depends on the accurate crystal…

We describe a diffraction microscopy technique based on refractive optics to study structural variations in crystals. The X-ray beam diffracted by a crystal was magnified by beryllium parabolic refractive lenses on a 2D X-ray camera. The…

Laue lenses are an emerging technology that will enhance gamma-ray telescope sensitivity by one to two orders of magnitude in selected energy bands of the \sim 100 keV to \sim 1.5 MeV range. This optic would be particularly well adapted to…

High-brightness X-ray pulses, as generated at synchrotrons and X-ray free electron lasers (XFEL), are used in a variety of scientific experiments. Many experimental testbeds require optical equipment, e.g Compound Refractive Lenses (CRLs),…

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) is the gold standard technique to characterize crystal structures in solid state. Despite significant advances in automation for structure solution, the refinement stage still depends heavily on…

Imaging of the Bragg reflected x-ray beam is proposed and validated as an in-situ method for characterization of performance of double-crystal monochromators under the heat load of intense synchrotron radiation. A sequence of images is…

X-ray emission spectroscopy is emerging as an important complement to x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, providing a characterization of the occupied electronic density of states local to the species of interest. Here, we present…

Single-photon sources represent a key enabling technology in quantum optics, and single colour centres in diamond are a promising platform to serve this purpose, due to their high quantum efficiency and photostability at room temperature.…

The super-oscillation lens (SOL) can achieve super-resolution focusing but have to trade-off with weaker hotspots and higher sidebands. We propose a single compound SOL to achieve reflective confocal imaging in principle without additional…

The resolution of X-ray diffraction microscopy is limited by the maximum dose that can be delivered prior to sample damage. In the proposed Serial Crystallography method, the damage problem is addressed by distributing the total dose over…

A parabolic monocapillary X-ray lens (PMXRL) is designed to effectively constrain a laboratory point X-ray source into a parallel beam. A square-shaped lead occluder (SSLO) is used to block direct X-rays in the PMXRL. To design the PMXRL,…
