ABSTRACT:
An optical system for providing a steerable monochromatized source of x-ray or neutron radiation. The system incorporates a radiation source and a Bragg structure reflective optical element. A stage causes the optical element to move relative to the radiation source. Such movement is coordinated with lateral d-layer grading such that Bragg's law of reflection is satisfied for radiation of a given wavelength bandwidth to be reflected at various instances and departure angles.
