AbstractThe diffraction grating spectra from Chandra and XMM-Newton have given the astronomical community a huge step forward in x-ray spectroscopy of celestial sources. They have proven the scientific richness of the field. But the spectra have resolution of only 300 to 1000 – low by the standards of the visible and the ultraviolet. We discuss some of the exciting new science that can be addressed if spectral resolution of up to 10,000 (or more) can be achieved in the x-ray. We then show how practical, high efficiency, high resolution x-ray spectrographs can be built for high throughput missions like Constellation-X and XEUS.

High-efficiency nanofocusing of hard X-rays using stacked multilevel Fresnel zone plates with a smallest zone width of 200 nm is demonstrated. The approach is to approximate the ideal parabolic lens profile with two-, three-, four- and six-level zone plates. By stacking binary and three-level zone plates with an additional binary zone plate, the number of levels in the optical transmission function was doubled, resulting in four- and six-level profiles, respectively. Efficiencies up to 53.7% focusing were experimentally obtained with 6.5 keV photons using a compact alignment apparatus based on piezoelectric actuators. The measurements have also been compared with numerical simulations to study the misalignment of the two zone plates.
