Diamond Optics
Designed for high heat load applications at X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs), allowing for power densities in the focal spot on the order of 1018 W cm-2.
- Diamond zone plates
- Diamond gratings for spectral monitoring
- Combinable with the Ir-line-doubling technique
- Split-and-delay schemes for ultra-fast pump-probe experiments

Diamond withstands intense irradiation from FELs, as opposed to other materials which degrade rather quickly. Our diamond optics are a necessary solution to the most state-of-the-art research and discovery methods. Bottom left photo taken from David et al. (2011).
