Paper Abstract
X-ray microscopic analysis as a fundamental tool in various scientific fields is supported by advancements in highprecision
x-ray optics. Off-axis ellipsoidal focusing mirror optics, which can produce two-dimensional focus with a
mirror and has characteristics of high reflectivity and achromaticity, is quite attractive for use in microscopic analysis.
However, technical problems in fabrication prevent a realization of off-axis ellipsoidal mirrors with nanometer accuracy
for nano-focusing of hard x-rays. The purpose of this study was to resolve a problem of surface processing technique for
fabrication of nanofocusing ellipsoidal mirrors in the hard x-ray region. We developed two types of ultra-high-precision
surface processing machines by advancing the Elastic Emission Machining method. One is a machine for improvement
of surface roughness with a rotary type working head, and the other is a machine for a computer-controlled figure
correction with a small-aperture nozzle type working head. Using the rotary type machine, we confirmed that surface
roughness of 4.32 nm root-mean-square (RMS) on an off-axis ellipsoidal mirror surface was improved to 0.14 nm
(RMS) within a spatial wavelength range of shorter than several hundred microns. Using the nozzle type machine, we
demonstrated a figure correction in a spatial wavelength of longer than 100 μm with nanometer height accuracy. Ultrahigh-
precision surface processing technologies with the capability of fabricating nano-focusing off-axis ellipsoidal
mirrors were established.
