Tohoku University Technology: Projection Optical Device: T04-031
An amplification device using two concave mirrors capable of utilizing light from infrared and visible light to the soft X-ray region.
The present invention is characterized by the use of "aspheric mirrors" as two reflective surfaces, aiming to minimize the impact of installation errors of the mirrors on imaging characteristics. An application example of the present invention to a microscope is shown in Figure 2. Using one of several optical parameters proposed in this invention, a magnifying glass was produced. A wide space of 10 cm was secured between the mirrors, allowing for the observation of a 1 mm diameter polyethylene sphere and the hairs of an insect wing measuring 1 mm in body length. Furthermore, the present invention is effective in the extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray regions, where high-precision alignment of the optical system is required, at wavelengths of 2-200 nm.
