Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of this method are: 1. Use the grating to split the beam and combine the elements. The object light and the reference light pass through different paths, so it is difficult to adjust the optical path. Since the coherence length of X-rays is only 200um, it is difficult to adjust the equal optical path. 2. The middle element of the optical path There are many devices and are relatively complex, and the surface shape of the components will interfere with the interference fringes
Its control precision is low, and the quality of the dual-frequency grating is controlled by ion beam etching, and its application range is in the visible light band
The disadvantage of this method is: the diffraction efficiency of the two groups of gratings in the dual-frequency grating cannot be consistent in the process; when the method is used to manufacture the dual-frequency grating, the photoresist mask of the dual-frequency grating is directly obtained through holographic exposure, and the mask The accuracy of the mold is limited by the exposure amount of the photoresist. When making a dual-frequency grating with a shallow groove depth, the ideal photoresist groove pattern cannot be transferred to the quartz substrate.
However, this method cannot produce dual-frequency gratings with shallow groove depth and working in the X-ray band

Abstract

The invention provides double-frequency gratings capable of working on a soft X-ray wave band and a manufacture method thereof, which belong to the technical field of grating manufacture. Rectangular-groove gratings with two different frequencies are manufactured on the same substrate to form a double-frequency grating structure. The manufacture method of the structure adopts holographic exposure-ion-beametching technology for two times, and manufactures two groups of double-frequency gratings with similar frequencies. By means of the double-frequency grating structure and the manufacture method of the double-frequency grating structure, groove-shaped structures of each group of gratings can be accurately controlled so that the requirements of the soft X-ray wave band for accuracy of the grating groove shapes are met. The gratings can provide two light beams with a small included angle and identical light strength to perform self-shearing interference. The double-frequency grating structure and the manufacture method of the double-frequency grating structure solve the problem of manufacture of shearing elements in a soft X-ray wave band shearing interference system, and provide a key technology for utilizing a shearing method to diagnose plasma electronic density.
