Metrology advancements for x-ray optics: Lynx and beyond
Next-generation X-ray telescopes require mirrors with surface height errors of a few nanometers. Traditional Fizeau interferometry is limited as measurements include surface errors on the surface under test (SUT) as well as the reference. Axial shift mapping (ASM) is a self-referencing interferometric method for near-c...
