Abstract
The performances of various optical elements are presented for ideally monochromatic X-rays in terms of position–angle space, which is used in the phase-space method. The optical elements discussed are a synchrotron radiation source, flat perfect crystals (reflection and transmission geometries), mosaic crystals, curved crystals of reflection (Johansson, Johann and logarithmic spiral types) and transmission geometries, and an elliptic total reflection mirror. The angular widths of acceptance and emergence for diffraction are properly taken into account in both the flat and curved crystals. It is shown that focusing optical elements such as a curved crystal and an elliptical mirror should not be treated simply as lenses.
