Collimating mirror (CM) and Toroidal focusing mirror (TFM) bilayer coating

A bilayer coating, a 12 nm Carbon (C) layer on top of a 30 nm Platinum (Pt) layer, is selected on the surface of the mirrors with an incident angle of 7.0 mrad instead of two separate coatings on parallel stripes to cover the energy range of 1.7 – 11 keV. The top carbon layer is optimized for suppressing the M-edge features of the bottom Pt layer.

he reflectivity of the bilayer as a function of energy at the incidence angle of 7.0 mrad.

Double-bounce high-order harmonics rejection mirrors (HHRMs)

Since the double-bounce HHRMs serve as the first optics from the source, it also functions as a sink to reduce the thermal load on later optics. The purpose of the second HHRM is mainly to keep the outgoing beam with a constant offset when the incident angle of HHRMs is changed. Therefore, the double-bounce HHRMs system could maintain the incident and outgoing light parallel with a constant offset value. Each of the HHRMs has two separate parallel stripes with different coating materials (Pt and C) coating. The incident angle of HHRMs is adjustable from 6 mrad to 12 mrad according to the required energy range by rotating both mirrors simultaneously with a common platform. The outgoing beam of the 2nd HHRM keeps a constant offset of 6 mm.
