Custom designable XUV, EUV, and X-ray mirrors, only NTT-AT in the world

Benefits

NTT-AT has been supplying high-quality XUV, EUV, and X-ray mirrors for more than 20 years. In particular, backed by its extensive experience and outstanding skills, it provides custom-designable multi-layer film mirrors adapted to meet individual customer requirements.

Since the 1990s, NTT-AT has developed and sold extreme ultraviolet (XUV or EUV) multi-layer mirrors and X-ray mirrors. The design of these mirrors reflects the feedback received from university, research institute, and enterprise customers in Asia, North America, South America, and Europe. Our vast reservoir of accumulated know-how and reliable technologies are what support the production of your multi-layer mirror.

Features

Research institutes around the world have continued to choose NTT-AT's multi-layer mirrors because of their quality. Multi-layer materials and structure are customized to meet your detailed specifications, such as substrate, peak wavelength, bandwidth, and dispersion. High heat-durability multi-layer mirrors are also supported. A reflectivity evaluation service using synchrotron facilities is also available as an option.

Multilayer Designs

XUV multi-layer mirrors（EUV multi-layer mirrors）

Product example

Φ10mm plane mirror	Measured reflectivities of Mo/Si multi-layers (normal incident angle: 2 degrees)

Multi-layer mirror for pump probe test	Measured relectivities of broadband mirrors, narrow band mirror(wavelength :30 nm)

	Mo/Si multi-layer mirrors have a high reflectivity near the wavelength of 13 nm (90 eV). NTT-AT’s Mo/Si multi-layer mirrors have a reflectivity of up to 70% for normal incidence. The materials, film structure, and substrate shape of NTT-AT’s XUV mirrors can be customized to suit your needs regarding central wavelength and optical arrangements.
EUV broadband ellipsoidal mirror (Φ100 mm zero dewer)

Ｘ-ray multi-layer mirrors

Product example

	W/B4C multi-layer and W/C multi-layer film mirrors have high reflectivity for hard X-ray applications. To reflect and concentrate a hard X-ray efficiently, it is necessary to minimize the oblique angle of incidence. This requires a long mirror length and a small multi-layer film cycle length.
Multi-layer mirror for K-B mirror system

	The materials, film structure, and substrate shape of NTT-AT’s X-ray mirrors can be customized to suit your needs regarding central wavelength, bandwidth and optical arrangements.
Evaluated reflectivity (wavelength: 0.154 nm, Blue: measured reflectivity, Pink: calculated reflectivity, periodic length: 2.95 nm)

Single layer mirrors

	Single layer mirrors, which use total reflection, are used for beam steering, light concentration and removal of unneeded wavelengths in the XUV to X-ray range. The materials and substrate shape of NTT-AT’s single layer mirrors can be customized to suit your needs regarding central wavelength and optical arrangements.
