Abstract
We have developed an apparatus for suppressing higher harmonics contained in the soft x‐ray output beam of grazing‐incidence grating monochromators. It consists of eight pairs of total‐reflection mirrors. Each pair serves as a low‐pass filter with the cutoff energy different from one another. The eight pairs are designed to cover an energy range of 80–1600 eV with an efficiency of harmonic suppression better than 97%, while transmitting more than 50% of the fundamental photons. We have tested its preliminary performance on the soft x‐ray beamline BL‐8A at the Photon Factory. We present the observed transmission efficiencies and the effects of the harmonic suppressor on measurements of reflectivity and fluorescence spectra.Keywords
