Replicated optics

For EUV And X-ray Radiation

Custom designed optics of various shapes for EUV and X-ray facilities and laboratory sources

RITE manufactures and sells Total Reflection X-ray optics. Total Reflection X-ray Optics are specially designed to satisfy both the evolving EUV/XUV industry and the more established hard and soft X-ray applications.

Replicated optics Overview

RITE has mastered a unique manufacturing technology called replication. This manufacturing technique enables the production of X-ray optics with unique optical features such as low weight, high surface precision (low slope error) and extremely low micro-roughness. Another interesting attribute of Total Reflection Optics is the use of various metallic layers as coatings. The most commonly used materials are Ni, Au, Mo and Ru
