✦ Synopsis

Addressed here are polarization optics for extreme-ultraviolet and soft X-ray wavelengths, especially as relevant to laser cavities. It is pointed out that the whisper-gallery mirrors studied by Vinogradov can serve as weak polarizers and, more importantly, as birefringent elements. The application of multilayer technology to polarizing mirrors and beamsplitters is also considered. It is shown that multilayer beamsplitters can function both as reflective and transmissive polarizers. Their behavior is surprising in some cases, with the same polarization being preferred in both reflection and transmission. Three polarizing cavity schemes are proposed, each incorporating a polarizing beamsplitter as its output coupler. Cavity optimization issues are discussed.

An experimental arrangement for X-rays is described which is analogous to the optical bench for polarization investigations. Using this arrangement elliptically polarized X-rays should be generated and proved. Although the dynarnical theory of X-ray diffraction is needed for X-ray optics the polariz

New methods of surface-sensitive instrumentation for the diagnostics of extreme ultraviolet (EUV), soft x-ray (SXR) and x-ray radiation have been developed. In particular, these methods of instrumentation are of great importance for studies of the interaction of electron, ion and photon beams with m
