Theory of x-ray multilayers with graded period

Alexander V. Vinogradov, R. M. Fechtchenko

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Wide bandpass multilayer mirrors can be obtained by gradually changing their period. In this paper the theory of such optical elements is developed on a basis of the general theory of wave propagation through layered medium. The results of reflectivity calculation for broadband mirrors are presented. The suggested theory can be used for the solution of inverse problem -- design of multilayers with the required wavelength dependence of reflectivity.
