Attenuators

The Solid Attenuator Assembly was originally designed to precisely attenuate the XFEL beam intensity in several different circumstances: In cases where the full intensity would be harmful, or would create thermal distortions on downstream x-ray optical devices, and to adjust the beam intensity delivered to the sample for fluence or intensity-dependent experiments.

Diamond Lenses

Single crystal diamond lenses are claiming an increasing share of the market for synchrotron optics. Especially for applications with high energies and where coherence preservation is important, their high thermal stability and conductivity as well as their low background scattering have been proven to be important assets.

Full Beamlines

At JJ X-Ray, we have a long history of designing and producing various types of beamline components as well as complete solutions for our customers.

A typical beamline consists of different types of optics, monochromators, attenuators, beam diagnostics, and beam defining slits. For a beamline solution, these diverse types of components need to be intelligently designed and integrated to provide the optimal x-ray or neutron beam for your desired experiment.

Fixed Masks

The white beam mask can be used in the front end or as a cost effective alternative to the white beam synchrotron slit. The white beam mask consists of two Cu alloy blocks with tapered square cutouts that can be moved vertically and latteraly such that each of the blocks from one-half of the vertical and one-half of the horizontal beam definition (like two L’s opposing each other).

Mirror Systems

The precision and accuracy with which X-ray focusing mirrors are positioned are crucial to all experiments on the beamline. The mirror positioning system needs to reflect the relevant photon beam from the storage ring without the interference of vibrations from the environment. Selection of the desired beam redirection requires submicron size linear translations as well as pitch, roll and yaw motions in the microradian range.

CRLS / Transfocators

A transfocator is a versatile X-ray optical device that uses compound refractive lenses (CRLs) to focus or collimate X-ray beams. By inserting different combinations of lens cartridges into the beam path, the total number of lenses—and thus the focal length—can be precisely controlled. This allows quick adjustment for different beam energies, spot sizes, and working distances. Designed for use in air or vacuum, transfocators are ideal for synchrotron and laboratory applications, offering stable, compact, and tunable X-ray beam focusing.

IB-C50-AIR

The IB-C50-AIR is a compact system but still spacious enough to house internal linear encoders. Our smallest system with this capability.

Except for the additional space for internal encoders, the design is very similar to our classic IB-C30-AIR slit system: The aperture is defined by four independently movable highly polished tungsten carbide blades. The blades are, in turn, controlled by a high-precision guiding rail system and high-resolution stepping motors.

The standard 2 mm blades can be installed in two configurations: Either providing a curved, polished surface of a 16 mm radius or providing a knife-edge slope at 0.5 degrees. The standard blades are polished to obtain an RMS roughness better than 25 nm.

If a slightly larger aperture is needed, IB-C50-AIR can easily be modified to an IB-C60-AIR (aperture size of 60 mm x 60 mm).
