Abstract

During the last ten years, optics conception in the X and X-UV spectral ranges has made great strides. The use of metallic multilayers as artificial interferential reflectors enabled the design of new optics : flat or curved mirrors, polarizers and most recently soft Xray beamsplitters. These optical components possess a large transmission coefficient as well as significant reflection power. The first experimental results obtained, with carbon/tungsten beamsplitter at 1,000 eV are presented here. These results are in agreement with theoretical calculations and allow applications on the interferometry and X-ray laser cavity design grounds to be considered.
