We have produced different thin film wave guided structures for Prof. Salditt from the University of Göttingen. The guiding layer consists of a light element with a thickness ranging from a few nm up to several 10 nm and is embedded between two reflecting layers with a thickness also amounting to several 10 nm. The structures are deposited on a suitable substrate and covered with a thick top layer.
For more details on these kinds of waveguides please refer to the following publication High-Transmission Planar X-Ray Waveguides, Salditt et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 100 (2008) 184801.
