Diamond x-ray refractive lenses produced by femto-second laser ablation

Femto-second laser processing of polycrystalline CVD diamond was applied to manufacturing of X-ray planar refractive lenses. Surface morphology and material quality were analyzed with optical and scanning electron microscopy and X-ray radiography. Lenses were tested in a focusing mode at the IIIrd generation synchrotron radiation source (ESRF).
