High Energy Detection

The SPO mirror technique is capable of the required extreme precision in allignment needed for interferometric imaging.

Using interferometry, unprecedented angular resolution can be achieved of  1 million times compared to simple lensing.

In the very high energy range, the solution of mirroring is not possible, as the maximum reflective angle becomes too small. In this case using  a Laue lens is the preferred solution.

Using the interference between the different angles through a bend or mosaic crystal, imaging can be achieved where it is not otherwise possible. Using an SPO based techniques, where bend and wedged single chrystal Silicon plates are stacked without pores, allows for superior Silicon Laue lensing.

The high energy optics software simulates X-ray and gamma-ray imaging systems based on grazing incidence scattering using the Monte Carlo technique. The software offers control of the surface properties and scattering processes at each individual interaction.

Additionally, the geometry of the surfaces and the imaging system,as well as the incoming beam and the resulting images patterns on the detector surface are fully under control of the user.
