相位型波带板应用于大尺度X射线源成像的分析与模拟

针对大尺度物体的keV-X射线高分辨成像,分析了相位型菲涅耳波带板(FPZP)对物平面1mm区域内点源的成像,确定像的空间分布具有不变性,提出了一种FPZP对扩展光源成像的计算方法.使用这一方法,模拟了放大倍数为10的典型实验条件下最外环宽0.35 μm的FPZ对扩展单色光源的成像.结果表明,随着扩展光源尺度的增加,像的对比度降低.FPZP的负1级和0级衍射是导致像的背景增强和对比度降低的主要因素,并相应导致成像对物方的空间分辨能力下降.对于强度空间分布为正弦调制、对比度为1的1mm尺度方形光源,像的对比度低于0.4,物方分辨能力为0.75 μm.

Analysis of imaging an extended X-ray source by using a Fresnel phase zone plate

To image a large-size object with a high spatial resolution in a kiloelectronvolt (keV) X-ray range, a method is proposed to analyze and simulate the imaging of an extended X-ray source by a Fresnel phase zone plate (FPZP), based on the translational invariance of the point spread function in a 1 mm square area on the objective plane. Using this method, the imaging of an extended source of a different size is simulated under a typical experimental condition of image-to-source magnification of 10 for an FPZP of an outmost zone width of 0.35 μm. The results show that the image contrast decreases with the increase of the source size, and the zeroth-order and the minus first-order diffractions of the FPZP contribute mainly to the image background enhancement and the contrast decrease. The spatial resolution to the objective plane is also found to be reduced. For a 1-mm-square-shape source with a sinusoidal-distribution intensity modulation of contrast 1, the image modulation contrast is below 0.4, and the spatial resolution is 0.75 μm.
