Research Interests and Projects
-
Development of ex-situ optical and in-situ at-wavelength metrology instrumentation and techniques for sub-microradian surface slope measurement of x-ray optics suitable for nano-focusing
-
Development and implementation of a variety of calibration methods for increased reliability of the metrology instrumentation available at the Optical Metrology Laboratory: Micromap-570 interferometric microscope, ZYGO-SPI interferometer, Scanning Probe Microscope, and slope-measuring profilers: the ALS LTP-II and DLTP
- Development of at-wavelength metrology end-station and experimental set-up at the Beamline 5.3.1
- Development of EUV and soft X-ray diffractive optics with super-high grove density and resolution
- Design, precise tuning, characterization, and implementation of bendable KB mirrors for a number of the ALS Beamlines
- Integration of precise measurements of PSD into the specification of x-ray optics and x-ray scattering calculation
- Optical metrology of x-ray optics for other national facilities
- Surface investigation of anti-relaxation paraffin coatings
