Micro Pore Optic with Square - MPO

Micro pore optic with square (MPO) is a kind of grazing incidence optical element, which can focus X-ray and ultraviolet light. MPO is a type of thin slice glass with porous structure and made up of millions of square shaped pores. The micro pore size is in micron scale and the surface of inner wall has very low roughness. The shape of MPO can be divided into two classes (plane and sphere).

The planar MPO can focus the divergent light, while the spherical MPO can focus the parallel light. In all known X-ray optics, MPO not only guarantee the large field of view and high resolution, but also have the smallest volume and lightest weight. In order to obtain the best focusing performance, the inner wall could be coated with increasing reflective film with different film materials for different application bands

Features

Large Field of View

•  MPO could cover 4π field of view

Light Weight

•  MPO possess the minimum weight per unit area, which is 1000 times lighter       than traditional Wolter-I lens

Micro Pore Optic with Sector - MPOS

Micro pore optic with sector is a kind of grazing incidence optical element, which can focus X-ray and ultraviolet light. MPOS have several millions of square shape glass pore in micron scale and the square pores are stacked in radial geometry. 

In order to obtain the best focusing performance, the inner wall could be coated with increasing reflective film with different film materials for different application bands. MPOS could be assembled to a conic optical system approximation to Wolter-l optics. This radially packing geometry has several advantages, such as larger effective versus geometry area ratios, light weight and working under higher energy than normal Wolter optics.

Features

Larger Effective / Geometric Area Ratio

• The effective/geometric area≥30%

Light Weight

• MPOS possess the minimum weight per unit area, which is 1000 times lighter than traditional Wolter-I lens 

Working Under Higher Energy

• MPOS could be form a conic optic approximation to Wolter-l optic, working under higher energy than conventional Wolter optics
