Abstract

We report on a cross-comparison of low-spatial-frequency surface slope and height metrology with a super-polished flat X-ray mirror Si substrate fabricated for the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Linac Coherent Light Source hard X-ray mirror system HOMS-3. The substrate with overall dimensions of 450 × 30 × 50 mm³ was specified to have a radius of curvature between 150 km and 195 km with a residual (after subtraction of the best-fit cylinder) slope variation on the level of 0.1 μrad rms, when measured in the tangential direction over a clear aperture of 380 × 5 mm². Surface slope metrology with an accuracy of better than 60 nrad rms was performed with an upgraded long trace profiler LTP-II and an auto-collimator-based developmental LTP (DLTP). The instruments are available at Advanced Light Source optical metrology laboratory. Surface figure in the height domain was characterized at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory X-ray science and technology group with a large field-of-view ZYGO^TM (12 in) interferometer. The error of the interferometric measurement is estimated to be approximately 0.5 nm rms. We describe in detail the experimental methods and techniques that achieved state-of-the-art metrology with the super-high quality optic under test. We also discuss the relation between surface slope and height metrology and the principle problems of their cross-comparison. We show that with some precautions cross comparison can be made reliably, providing supplemental information on urface figure quality.
