Abstract
We have developed an at-wavelength wave-front metrology of a grazing-incidence focusing optical systems in the hard x-ray region. The metrology is based on numerical retrieval from the intensity profile around the focal point. We demonstrated the at-wavelength metrology and estimated the surface figure error on a test mirror. An experiment for measuring the focusing intensity profile was performed at the 1-km-long beamline (BL29XUL) of SPring-8. The obtained results were compared with the profile measured using an optical interferometer and were confirmed to be in good agreement with it. This technique is a potential method of characterizing wave-front aberrations on elliptical mirrors for sub-10-nm focusing.
