ABSTRACT
This paper describes in detail a compact (2U format) telescope operating in the extreme ultraviolet range for studying the solar corona at a wavelength of 17.14 nm. The telescope objective has been built according to the Ritchey-Chrétien scheme with the following parameters: effective focal length of 381.3 mm, field of view of 2×2∘, and angular resolution of 11 in. Reflective multilayer Al/Be coatings were used, having 55% reflectance and a 0.4 nm spectral bandwidth. The wavefront rms error is 30 nm. An interferometric technique for controlling the shapes of the substrates and for adjusting the optical system and detector of the telescope assembly is described in detail.
ABSTRACT
In this work, the refractive index of beryllium in the photon energy range 20.4-250â eV was experimentally determined. The initial data include measurements of the transmittance of two free-standing Be films with thicknesses of 70â nm and 152â nm, as well as reflectometric measurements of similar films on a substrate. Measurements were carried out at the optics beamline of the BESSYâ II synchrotron radiation source. The absorption coefficient ß was found directly from the transmission coefficient of the films, and the real part of the polarizability δ was calculated from the Kramers-Kronig relations. A comparison is carried out with results obtained 20 years ago at the ALS synchrotron using a similar methodology.
