Power loss analysis for the optical cavity of an x-ray laser oscillator

We investigate properties of optical elements in the optical cavity of an x-ray laser oscillator with emphasis on the power loss of a monochromatic Gaussian radiation beam upon passing through them using analytical and numerical approaches. Here we assume the optical cavity comprises of refractive l...

description We investigate properties of optical elements in the optical cavity of an x-ray laser oscillator with emphasis on the power loss of a monochromatic Gaussian radiation beam upon passing through them using analytical and numerical approaches. Here we assume the optical cavity comprises of refractive lenses and Bragg crystals exploiting symmetric Bragg scattering. For the lens, we include focusing and curvature effects while we include angular filtering due to finite Darwin width of the Bragg crystal. Our results indicate the feasibility of x-ray power out-coupling in the range of 0.5%–28% with intracavity reflectivity of 67%–95% at 10.321 keV for nominal (≥65% reflectivity) cases. We also show the possibility of achieving high out-coupling of 35%–80% while restricting the intracavity reflectivity in the 19%–62% by adopting lossy cavities with 10–20  μm thin crystals.
