Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāThe next generation light sources such as diffraction-limited storage rings and high repetition rate free electron lasers (FELs) will generate x-ray beams with significantly increased peak and average brilliance. These future facilities will require x-ray optical components capable of handling large instantaneous and average power densities while tailoring the properties of the x-ray beams for a variety of scientific experiments. In this paper we report on research and development of a single crystal diamond compound refractive lens. Diamond is the best material for high heat load applications. Moreover single crystal lens preserves coherence of the x-ray beam because scattering from grain boundaries, voids and impurities, typical for current beryllium lenses is minimized. A set of two-dimensional single crystal diamond lenses had been fabricated by fs-laser cutting and tested at Advanced Photon Source (Argonne).
