Abstract
An auxiliary visible imaging method was introduced to solve the axial and pointing alignment of x-ray Kirkpatrick-Baez optics. Through ZEMAX simulation and x-ray imaging experiments, the axial and pointing alignment accuracy were determined to be ±300μm and ±20μm respectively. The numerical aperture of x-ray Kirkpatrick-Baez optics is rather small, so it's impossible to adjust Kirkpatrick-Baez system by visible imaging directly. An auxiliary visible lens was designed, which was equivalent to x-ray Kirkpatrick-Baez optics on conjugate relationship and accuracy control. The comparative experiments of visible imaging and x-ray imaging indicate that this auxiliary system could meet the alignment accuracy of Kirkpatrick-Baez optics.
