A comparison was made of the capabilities of two classes of aperiodic structures and of so-called “stack” structures, which are composed of several periodic structures with different periods stacked one over the other. Six-stack Mo/Be 80-layer structures were synthesized on concave (R = 1 m) superpolished fused silica substrates. Their absolute reflectivity was measured at 13% – 14% in the 111–138 Å optimization range using a laboratory reflectometer with a laser-plasma radiation source. The normal-incidence reflection spectra of the mirrors were recorded in the configuration of a transmission-grating spectrograph using the slowly varying quasicontinuum of a laser-driven tungsten plasma. Comparing the reflectivity data with the reflection spectra recorded with a CCD permitted estimating a decrease in the detector responsivity beyond the Si L-edge. The broadband normal-incidence multilayer mirrors facilitate the development of a high-resolution imaging spectrograph covering a usable range about the Si L-edge to characterize, for instance, the L-edge fine structures and chemical states. These mirrors will also find use in imaging solar instruments with a high spectral resolution operating aboard a spacecraft and in laboratory instruments for plasma diagnostics.}, pages = {3038--3048}, title = {Broadband normal-incidence mirrors for a range of 111–138 Å based on an a-periodic Mo/Be multilayer structure}, volume = {11}, year = {2021} }
