AXO Dresden GmbH

AXO production program contains both single X-ray optics and complex X-ray optical systems to generate high intensity collimated or focussed monochromatic X-ray beams, special customized depositions and applications in X-ray reflectometry and diffraction. A wide assortment of flat and curved X-ray optics are available that can be used with the common types of X-ray sources with respect to wavelength, construction and focus geometry. In order to deliver customers an optimum high quality solution we work in close collaboration with the Fraunhofer IWS, further Fraunhofer Institutes, the University of Technology Dresden as well as with other national and international research institutes. Poduction program includes single multilayer monochromators, collimating and focusing X-ray optics as well as complex X-ray optical systems like the twin mirror arrangement (TMA), collimating monochromator, beam compressor and Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) geometries. An upgrade kit is available for all common types of X-ray tubes and wavelengths. The deposition of these multilayer X-ray optics requires extreme precision, reproducibility and long term stability. Sub-nanometer precision has to be guaranteed across macroscopic substrate dimensions. Several deposition technologies can be applied to deposit high precision single and multilayers. More than 20 years of experience in the fields of high precision deposition and design, development and application of multilayer X-ray optics is applied to provide our clientele with effective and customized solutions in the fields of X-ray optics and high precision deposition. AXO DRESDEN develops and applies various high precision deposition techniques for the production of nanometer single and multilayers showing sub-nanometer precision.
