<title>Investigation of the x-ray propagation in the planar waveguide</title>

Abstract

We have investigated the propagation of the characteristic radiation of the Mo and Re atoms through the planar X-ray waveguides. It is established that if the number of reflections in the waveguide channel is sufficiently large, it is necessary to take into account the scattering of the beam at the roughnesses of the channel walls for the description of the angle distribution of the radiation at the exist of the waveguide. One of the possible systems for scanning the objects by the X-ray beam on the base of the planar waveguides is proposed.© (1994) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
