X-ray waveguide optics at GINIX/P10 PETRA III: recent progress and future directions.

ABSTRACT: Here we report on recent progress in X-ray waveguide optics for full-field coherent imaging at the Göttingen Instrument for Nano-Imaging with X-rays (GINIX), installed at the P10 coherence beamline of the PETRA III storage ring at DESY, Hamburg. We describe fabrication methods including new materials and the corresponding characterization in terms of transmission, exit intensity distribution, far-field intensity distribution and coherence properties. In addition to single channels, which are currently used for holographic imaging, we include results on tapered waveguides and off-axis waveguide interferometers. We also address optimization of waveguide optics with respect to the novel super-resolution holography method presented by Soltau et al. [Optica (2021), 8, 818-823]. Finally, we disc
