Dual Mirror Optical System for use with Grazing Incidence Spectrograph Ryan Anderson 16 March 2002 Brigham Young University
Special Thanks • Dr. Steven Turley (BYU) • Dr. Aleksander Shevelko (Lebdev) • Wes Lifferth (BYU) • Matthew Crookston • Raymond Rios
Capillary Discharge • Controllable XUV source • Max 240 kV discharge, ns pulse • Plasma: shape, density, temperature
GIM-S • Grazing Incidence Monochromator-Spectrograph • Lebdev Institute • Constant angle of deviation • Spectral Resolution
Entrance Slit - GIMS After Grating-Film Capillary Sag Tan Why use mirrors? • Gather more light • Focus in both planes • Tangential • Spectral Resolution • Sagittal • Spatial Resolution
SETUP 2 SETUP 1 Radius dependence on dimensions Dual mirror system
Ordering the mirrors • Tolerance • Spherical – 1970 +/- 5 mm • Cylindrical – 14 +/- 0.1 mm • Size • “Tweaking”
Manufacturing • Under Vacuum • Adjustability • Size • Attachable
Future plans • Build it • Hook it all up to the capillary • Differential Pumping System • Adjustability??? • Soft x-ray laser (source/gain media)
