Abstract
The efficiency of time-modulation of synchrotron radiation by a double-crystal monochromator periodically curved by pulsed surface acoustic waves has been studied both experimentally and theoretically. It has been shown that the efficiency of such a system is significantly higher as compared to x-ray modulation by surface acoustic waves applied to x-ray mirrors—that is under the conditions of total external reflection. Possible modifications and improvement of a synchrotron radiation double-crystal diffractive modulator are discussed. The experiments were done at the diffraction beamline at the Brazilian National Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS).
