Abstract
Driven by the demand of high efficiency and high resolution monochromators and spectrometers in the tender X-ray range, high line density multilayer coated laminar gratings (MLLG) were designed, manufactured, and analyzed. Theoretical simulations displayed that a 5000 l/mm MLLG could realize high resolution at 3 keV and 40 times higher diffraction efficiency than the single-layer coated grating. For the first demonstration of the high line density MLLGs, two 3000 l/mm laminar gratings were fabricated and coated by Cr/C multilayers with different periodic thicknesses to achieve high efficiency (HE) and high resolution (HR) performance. For MLLG-HE, a maximum efficiency of 54.5% was achieved at 4.4 keV. For MLLG-HR, relatively high efficiency of 23.1%–38.6% were demonstrated with much stronger asymmetric diffraction in 2–4 keV, which can significantly increase the energy resolution of the system.
