In the last two decades, after the first light from the new Free Electron Lasers, either in the
UV (FLASH [1] and FERMI@ Elettra [2]) or X-ray (LCLS [3] and SACLA [4]), more and more …

Modern subtractive and additive manufacturing techniques present new avenues for X-ray
optics with complex shapes and patterns. Refractive phase plates acting as glasses for X-ray …

The advent of 4th generation high-energy synchrotron facilities (ESRF-EBS and the planned
APS-U, PETRA-IV and SPring-8 II) and free-electron lasers (Eu-XFEL and LCLS-II) allied …

We introduce a new X-ray speckle-vector tracking method for phase imaging, which is based
on the wavelet transform. Theoretical and experimental results show that this method, which …

A refractive phase corrector optics is proposed for the compensation of fabrication error of X-
ray optical elements. Here, at-wavelength wavefront measurements of the focused X-ray …

High-quality bi-concave 2D focusing diamond X-ray lenses of apex-radius R= 100 µm
produced via laser-ablation and improved via mechanical polishing are presented here …

A new algorithm to perform coherent mode decomposition of undulator radiation is
proposed. It is based on separating the horizontal and vertical directions, reducing the …

Scientific tasks aimed at decoding and characterizing complex systems and processes at
high pressures set new challenges for modern X-ray diffraction instrumentation in terms of X …

For advanced X-ray sources such as synchrotron radiation facilities and X-ray free electron
lasers, a smooth, structure-free beam on the far-field plane is usually strongly desired. The …

The phase problem in the context of focusing synchrotron beams with X-ray lenses is
addressed. The feasibility of retrieving the surface error of a lens system by using only the …
