A series of quasi-mosaic curved crystals has been fabricated for the Laue project to build up a prototype of a Laue lens. Curvature has been imparted to the samples thanks to the grooving method, which makes it possible to realize self-standing curved plates. Samples are 10 × 30 × 2 mm3 Ge crystals characterized by two curvatures of different crystallographic planes. The primary curvature allows the focalization of the diffracted X-rays on a focal spot smaller than the crystal dimension. The secondary curvature, i.e. quasi-mosaic curvature, amplifies the diffraction efficiency by more than one order of magnitude with respect to an equivalent crystal without quasi-mosaic curvature. © (2013) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Abstract: | A series of quasi-mosaic curved crystals has been fabricated for the Laue project to build up a prototype of a Laue lens. Curvature has been imparted to the samples thanks to the grooving method, which makes it possible to realize self-standing curved plates. Samples are 10 × 30 × 2 mm3 Ge crystals characterized by two curvatures of different crystallographic planes. The primary curvature allows the focalization of the diffracted X-rays on a focal spot smaller than the crystal dimension. The secondary curvature, i.e. quasi-mosaic curvature, amplifies the diffraction efficiency by more than one order of magnitude with respect to an equivalent crystal without quasi-mosaic curvature. © (2013) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
