Coherent Beams
Coherent Beams
We offer coherent beams with the following sizes. Note it is possible to work out of focus if a slightly larger beam is required just remember to consider the wavefront curvature when treating the data.
The incident beam can be reconstructed using a reference sample (Siemens star) online during the experiment using the PyNX software package.

56x141nm (VxH, FWHM) Fresnel Zone Plate


130x200nm (VxH, FWHM) Fresnel Zone Plate
180x380nm (VxH, FWHM) KB mirrors


For Coherence based experiments, we typically recommend the following beam configurations.
Bragg CDI: CRL beam 500nm - 2microns in size, up to 5E10ph/s
Bragg Ptychography: FZP beam 200x200nm, KB beam 200x200nm, 5E9 - 5E10ph/s
Several data analysis tools are available for users.
Bragg CDI: CDIUTILS or GWAIHIR provide pre and post processing and pipelines which exploit the PyNX software package.
Bragg Ptychography: EasyBragg braggptycho package made available by the LEAPS INNOV EasyBragg funded project “Implementation of user-friendly 3D Bragg ptychography at synchrotron sources- EASYBRAGG”
