The 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. We have been developing diamond x-ray refractive lens for 3 years. Standard deviation of lens residual gradually was decreased to sub-micron values. Post-ablation polishing procedure yields 10-20nm surface roughness, Ra. In this paper we report on recent developments towards beam-line ready optic.
