Basic concepts of perfect crystal X-ray optics are given for the readers working on designing synchrotron radiation X-ray optics. Starting from a brief introduction of dynamical theory of X-ray diffraction, multiple-crystal methods are illustrated. Applications for X-ray monochromators, collimators, and interferometers are presented. X-ray optics composed of perfect crystal devices and their applications are also discussed.

Introduction

Perfect crystal optics have been utilized in all synchrotron radiation facilities, as well as free-electron laser facilities operating in the X-ray region. From the early days of synchrotron radiation facilities when the most radiation was extracted from bending magnets of circular accelerators or storage rings, perfect crystals have been used for monochromatization of white X-rays emitted from the bending magnets. The huge thermal load on the first crystal restricted the usable crystals to silicon or diamond single crystals which are enough perfect....
