Gas-Jet Lens Supports Refractive Optics in XUV Domain

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A new refractive lens developed by scientists at the Max Born Institute (MBI) uses a jet of atoms to focus extreme UV (XUV) beams. The atom jet is used in place of glass, which is nontransparent in the XUV spectral region. In spite of a large number of XUV sources and applications, no XUV lenses have existed until now, said the researchers. The reason is that XUV radiation is strongly absorbed by any solid or liquid material and cannot pass through conventional lenses. Focusing of an XUV beam by a jet of atoms that is used as a lens.
