The development of layered synthetic microstructure x-ray optic arrays to serve two distinct roles in high temperature plasma experimental research will be described. An optic array of large active area (500 cm2) provides the basis for a fusion product-immune x-ray imaging system (XIS) diagnostic that will be experimentally evaluated at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR). The array is formed by end-to-end assembly of concave-cylindrical multilayer components along a parabolic trace. Our experience to date in the physics and engineering design of the array will be described.*
