The Biomedical Imaging and Therapy facility of the Canadian Light Source comprises two
beamlines, which together cover a wide X-ray energy range from 13 keV up to 140 keV. The …

X-ray optics made of single-crystal materials are widely used at most of the X-ray sources
due to the outstanding properties. The main drawback of such optics—the diffraction losses …

X-ray communication (XCOM) is a novel space communication method with great potential.
X-rays have much shorter wavelengths than both infrared and radio. In principle, XCOM can …

Cr/C multilayer optics are a suitable choice for the tender X-ray range (1–4 keV) that covers
the K absorption edges of P, S, Cl and 3d transition metals as well as the L absorption edges …

The location of the beam focus when monochromatic X-ray radiation is diffracted by a thin
bent crystal is predicted by thecrystal lens equation'. This equation is derived in a general …

This research aims to explore novel uses of bent Laue crystals as x-ray optics to extend the
capabilities of computed tomography (CT) at synchrotron facilities. Firstly, we demonstrate …

The sagittal-bent Laue monochromator can provide an ideal way to focus high-energy X-ray
beams. However, the anticlastic curvature induced by sagittal bending has a great influence …
