Abstract:
A system for measuring the polarization and intensity of extreme ultraviolet, soft x-ray, and x-ray radiation produced by a source, comprising:(A) a reflective surface, the reflective surface being adapted to reflect the radiation produced by the source, wherein the reflecting surface is adapted to rotate around an axis, the axis being substantially parallel to an incoming path of the radiation reflected by the reflective surface; (B) a capillary array being adapted to transmit the radiation, the capillary array comprising: (a) a receiving end positioned to receive the radiation reflected by the reflective surface; and (b) an emitting end; and (C) a detector positioned to receive radiation emitted by the emitting end of the capillary array, the detector being adapted to measure the intensity of the emitted radiation.
