Experimental calibration of transmission grating and theoretical calculation of diffraction efficiency

Abstract

Transmission grating is widely used in measurement of soft X rays. In order to measure the diffraction efficiencies of the transmission grating which is used in laser fusion, the transmission grating was calibrated on Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility in the energy region from 200eV to 1600eV, and the experimental results have been obtained. The model for grating efficiency simulation has been developed and calculations using a new so called 7-side quasi-trapezoidal cross section model were carried out. The results from the new model are in good agreement with the experimental data. The exact grating wire cross section is described.
