Principles of Bragg-Fresnel multilayer optics

V.V. Aristov , A.I. Erko , V.V. Martynov

The paper describes the principles and theoretical models of new X-ray optical elements based on the behaviour of Bragg-Fresnel diffraction. The use of volume diffraction permits one to achieve better spatial resolution compared with conventional plane optics and bending mirrors. The construction of Bragg-Fresnel elements combines the advantages of high-resolution Fresnel optics with stability of multilayer mirrors.
