Abstract

In recent work, multilayers with band-tailored optics for dual energy digital subtraction angiography (DDSA) applications have been designed and tested at SSRL. Control of various multilayer parameters, including period grading, ratio of high-to-low Z material thickness, number of layers, etc., was used to produce reflectors with bandwidths ranging from 0.6%–10% and efficiencies in the 30%–95% range. In this paper, we consider the control of multilayer bandshapes and the implementation of double-reflection multilayer configurations to further control the first harmonic (33 keV) bandwidth and to suppress or eliminate the 66 keV and 99 keV harmonics present on angiography beamlines driven by wiggler or micropole undulator sources.
