Here, we report the design, manufacturing, and characterization of x-ray optical components for the cavity-based x-ray free-electron laser (CBXFEL) cavity, in the framework of the CBXFEL R&D collaborative project of Argonne National Laboratory, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and SPring-8. The optical components include high-reflectivity diamond crystal mirrors, reflecting and output coupling diamond drumhead crystal with thin membranes, focusing beryllium refractive lenses, and channel-cut Si crystal monochromators. All the designed optical components have been fully characterized at the Advanced Photon Source to demonstrate their desired performance for the CBXFEL cavity.
