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.

A collection of images of optics made with diamond.

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).
