Claim Text:
1. A method for implementing Bragg-diffraction leveraged modulation of X-ray pulses using MicroElectroMechanical systems (MEMS) based diffractive optics comprising: providing an oscillating crystalline MEMS device; providing an incident pulse train of X-ray synchrotron radiation on the oscillating crystalline MEMS device; and selecting pulses with Bragg-diffraction leveraged modulation of the incident pulse train of X-ray synchrotron radiation and generating a controllable time-window of the selected pulses-using the oscillating crystalline MEMS device and diffracting X-ray pulses during an oscillation cycle of the oscillating crystalline MEMS device when the incident pulse train of X-ray synchrotron radiation has an angle of incidence equal to a Bragg angle θ providing an angle of incidence equal to said Bragg angle θ
