Abstract

The dispersion of x-rays (XR), soft x-rays (SXR) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light by multilayer structures is dependent on the scattering and absorption cross-sections of the elements used to synthesize the multilayer. In this paper it will be shown that this dependence provides a means for the accurate experimental determination of the optical constants of the multilayer constituents. Two specific approaches will be presented and discussed. First, it will be shown that detailed analysis of the energy dependence of the reflectivity of a simple depth periodic multilayer allows the unfolding of the optical constants. Secondly a new optic structure, the multilayer diffraction grating, will be described and it will be demonstrated that such combined microstructure optics allow the scattering cross-sections of the multilayer constituents to be accurately determined over broad spectral ranges.
