Notes:
We present results of the experimental tests of various arrays of reflectors acting as x-ray optical elements. Planar reflectors were arranged in a vertical stack and aligned with a common center of curvature to create a focusing array with cylindrical curvature. The experiments were carried out using x-ray radiation in the spectral range 3.5–7 keV produced at beam line X-27C of the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The focal distribution had a width of 8 mm and a maximum intensity gain of 7.3, as measured with a 0.4 mm diameter pinhole. An x-ray beam splitter consisting of arrays of reflectors has also been designed and tested. The separation of x-ray beams is 40 mrad, and the intensity of each of the two beams is about 0.32 of the original x-ray beam. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
