Thank You:

Ken and Valeriy would like to thank everyone who participated for what turned out to be a great meeting.

Workshop Abstract:

Focusing light to nanometer length scales and preserving the high brightness made available by third and fourth generation synchrotron sources requires significant advances in the quality of reflective EUV, soft x-ray and x-ray optics, and in the metrology used to optimize their fabrication and beam-line performance.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who create, test, and use advanced x-ray optics, and those who manufacture metrology instrumentation, to explore ways to reach 100 nano-radian and sub-angstrom surface quality. What in-situ and ex-situ metrology methods currently work best, and what new techniques can be developed? What metrology feedback does industry need to advance the state of the art, and how can we provide it?

With the importance of metrology gaining larger recognition in the short-wavelength-optics communities, this workshop will reveal opportunities for progress, collaboration, and the development of ideas toward the establishment of larger x-ray optics and metrology programs.

If you plan to attend, please R.S.V.P.
