  In the framework of the design of an adaptive optics for x-ray mirrors a stabilization system* for force actuators and flexure hinges have been conceived. This corrector allows to deform the mirror surface at nanometre level but for this purpose it requires resolutions better than 0.02, by using ultra-low constant springs, and to preserve the introduced deformation it is needed to be stable at the same level. The corrector needs to be insensitive when dismantling and remounting the mirror. In the other hand in order to support the corrector its structure is attached to the bender frame and the spring force is transmitted through a level arm by means a bearing articulation. This introduces a small friction but it is still preferably to eliminate it. A new method based -k spring-like constant principle is proposed. Based on this technique it is possible to stabilize the force exerted on the mirror below 0,02N for an error range more than 1 mm. In addition applying the principle to a flexure it allows to compensate it in an angular range in within the torque variation tend to be null, below 0,005 Nm, thus becoming a short range, frictionless and zero torque articulation.

  The focusing of X-ray nanoprobe at TPS relay upon the special designed Montel mirrors and its adjustment holder. The holder includes two major parts: (1) fundamental-position alignment part and (2) relative-position adjustment part. The fundamental-position alignment part has the ability to adjust the two mirrors together in 6 DOF., such as X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, and yaw. These translation stages have several-tens mm travel range and nm resolution, while the rotational stages have 40 mrad azimuthal angular range and 0.1~0.01 µrad resolution. The relative-position adjustment part can further adjust the two mirrors to minimize the focal spot. During the pre-alignment process, one of the mirrors can be manual adjusted by micrometer heads in three translation directions with several mm travel range and micro-meters resolution. These micrometer heads also provide this mirror three rotational degree of freedoms with sub-mrad resolution. For the further alignment in vacuum, the additional four piezo-motor actuators can precisely adjust the other Montel mirror in the Y and Z direction with several nm resolution, and its pitch and roll with 1 urad and 0.05 urad resolution, respectively.

The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U) project will include a suite of new beam-lines. In preparation for this, a team at the APS is developing an X-ray microscope with a novel granite (Earth), air bearing (Wind) supported stage to take advantage of the two orders of magnitude increased coherent flux (Fire) that will be available with the APS-U. The instrument will be able to operate as a scanning probe for fluorescence microscopy and as a ptychoprobe for the ultimate in spatial resolution. Both are combined with tomography. The goals for the instrument while operating at the current APS are to demonstrate fast scanning of large samples at high resolution and ptychography at the highest resolution (speed and resolution limited by available flux). This presentation will discuss the unique mechanics, interferometry scheme, the advanced scanning control, and instrument integration.

  For the high demanding requirements of the beam-lines of the European XFEL [*] new mirror chambers were developed, designed and tested. A prototype contains the main features of all needed ten units which are tested extensively. The concept of the mirror chamber is a further development of our Cartesian parallel kinematics for X-ray optics in the UHV [**]. The stiffness and vibration behaviour were further improved and the position resolution was increased compared to earlier implementations at Bessy and Flash. For that the drives were redesigned and now feature a stroke of 100 mm with nanometer resolution.

TUPE01 DMM Thermal Mechanical Design ion, detector, operation, experiment 152
 
  • J.H. Kelly
    DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
 
  A Double Multilayer Monochromator (DMM) was designed in-house for the VMXi beamline. Thermal mechanical finite element analysis was performed to design a novel optic geometry, employing In/Ga eutectic cooling. The integration of a DMM into the existing beamline required additional power management components, such as a low energy power filter, a power detector and compact CuCrZr masks. This paper describes the thermal management challenges and their solutions. The DMM has been fully commissioned and is operational within the original I02 beamline.

  A leaf spring bender geometry for water-cooled double Laue crystal monochromator (DLM) is presented. The DLM will be employed to acquire high energy mono-chromatic X-ray (60keV to 120keV) on the ultra-hard applications beamline at SSRF. A compact bending mechanism is designed in order to get horizontally fo-cused high energy monochromatic X-ray as small as 0.5mm. The bender applies a piece of thin asymmetric crystal and a pair of leaf springs which push the crystal to a sagittally bent radius as small as 1 meter by a pair of symmetry moments. An optimized crystal geometry is achieved by taking into account the meridional and sagit-tal bendings coupled and defined by the anisotropic elas-ticity of the asymmetric crystal. Furthermore, thermal slope error and structural stress of the bent crystal are analyzed by finite element method (FEA).

TUPE22 Low-Order Aberrations Correction of Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Objective with Deformable Multilayer Mirrors ion, alignment, controls, software 213

  For at-wavelength observation of a lithography mask, recently, we proposed an EUV microscope consisting of multilayer-mirror objective (operating wavelength: 13.5 nm, numerical aperture: 0.25). To provide diffraction-limited spatial resolution below 30 nm, reduction of wave aberrations of low order, i.e., spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism, should be key technical challenge for the microscope. In this paper, firstly, we describe detail of optical design and instrumentation of the point diffraction interferometer (PDI), so as to provide high enough sensing accuracy of 100 pm, which would be required for an optical axis adjustment of the EUV objective. Next, experimental results of wave front correction on the EUV objective are reported. We corrected spherical aberration and coma by precisely aligning an optical axis of the mirrors, while effects of astigmatism were also minimized with a figure-deformable mirror which can control radius of curvature in two mutually orthogonal directions. We confirmed that these low order terms should be less than 0.3 nm RMS.

WEPE14 Minimizing Grating Slope Errors in the IEX Monochromator at the Advanced Photon Source ion, photon, experiment, ISOL 336

The IEX beamline at the APS is currently in the commissioning phase. The energy resolution of the beamline was not meeting original specifications by several orders of magnitude. The monochromator, an in-focus VLS-PGM, is currently configured with a high and a medium-line-density grating. Experimental results indicated that both gratings were contributing to the poor energy resolution and this led to venting the monochromator to investigate. The initial suspicion was that a systematic error had occurred in the ruling process on the VLS gratings, but that proved to not be the case. Instead the problem was isolated to mechanical constraints used to mount the gratings into their respective side-cooled holders. Modifications were made to the holders to eliminate problematic constraints without compromising the rest of the design. Metrology performed on the gratings in the original and modified holders demonstrated a 20-fold improvement in the surface profile error which was consistent with finite element analysis performed in support of the modifications. Two gratings were successfully reinstalled and subsequent measurements with beam show a dramatic improvement in energy resolution.

WEPE26 Upgrade the Beamline PF-AR NW14A for the High-Repetition-Rate X-Ray Pump-Probe Experiments ion, laser, experiment, focusing 351
 
  • S. Nozawa
    KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
 
  We report the upgrade of the x-ray pump probe system to high repetition rate at the beamline PF-AR NW14A. A 400 fs high-repetition rate fiber laser system (Amplitude, Tangerine) was newly installed. The fiber laser system, which is operated at 1030 nm fundamental wavelength, is capable of reaching up to 0.1 mJ pulse with a repetition rate of 400 kHz. A higher harmonic generation system enlarges the spectral range from UV to mid-infrared. To increase the laser power density at a sample position, the x-ray was additionally focused by a polycapillary lens (Polycapillary Optics, XOS). The synchronization of X-ray and laser pulses is based on the RF master clock of the storage ring. The delay between the laser and the X-ray is controlled by changing the emission timing of the laser with a Trigger & Clock Delay Module (84DgR5CO1, CANDOX). The high repetition rate system increases experimental efficiency 400 times.

FRAA01 Engineering Challenges on the I14 Nanoprobe Beamline ion, vacuum, detector, cryogenics 398

    DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
 
  An overview of the double branch 185m I14 Nano-probe beam-line under construction at DLS will be presented together with the end-station design in further detail. The end station consists of a split vacuum vessel containing a KB mirror configuration (at UHV) and the sample environment (at HV) which is just 50mm from the end of the final KB optic. An in-vacuum detector is mounted between the KB and the sample whilst two externally mounted detectors will operate between 0.25m & 3m from the sample. Four cryogenic samples can be brought into the vessel at a time and transferred remotely to the sample position with cooling provided by a Helium pulse tube cooler. With an initial 50nm size beam, stability is absolutely critical and careful attention has been paid in the design to mitigate any thermal and structural sources of vibration. An array of interferometers reference the KB mirrors and sample position and will be used to actively correct for any drifts. The very tight space constraints involved have greatly increased the complexity and duration of the design but testing of prototypes is now underway. The system is scheduled for build and test through the Autumn 2016.

  Over time X-Ray mirrors are demanded for better focusing, closer to sample refocusing, spot size as well as better beam uniformity at sample position. Based on the experience of ALBA Phase I beam lines a new alter-native design of a mirror bender* is proposed. The system includes two main functionalities: the mirror bender mechanism and mirror figure error correc-tion. Both mechanisms are based on the introduction of a force constrain on the mirror surface instead of a geometrical one. As being based on a force mechanism they could reach high resolution and especially for the correctors which can achieve nanometre resolution. The correctors are designed to provide high force stability in the mirror side, eliminating the crosstalk between bending and figure correction, and minimizing the sensitivity to drifts. With such controlled deformation of the mirror substrate it is possible to obtain the desired surface figure not only to correct mirror figure errors but also to adapt it to the incident wavefront, thus becoming adaptive system. The mechanical solutions are presented which are able to correct mirror surfaces with a resolution of 1 nm reaching slope errors below 100 nrad.

FRBA03 Design of the Diamond Light Source DMM for the VMXi Beamline ion, vacuum, GUI, radiation 420
 
  • D.J. Butler, J.H. Kelly
    DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
 
  A Double Multilayer Monochromator (DMM) was designed in-house for the VMXi beam-line. This paper describes the novel engineering solutions employed to build a high stability instrument. PiezoMotor® actuators drive sine-arm Bragg axes for both optics providing the coarse and fine motion in a single actuator. The long translation of the second multilayer is driven externally via a linear shift to eliminate in-vacuum pipe & cable motions. A high stability air bearing translates the whole DMM across the two multilayer stripes. The optics are water cooled via an Indium / Gallium eutectic alloy bath to minimise coupled vibrations. The DMM is operational on the VMXi beam-line, experimental and performance data is presented.
