Expected performances of diamond phase retarders with crystal thicknesses of 0.1 (dotted), 0.5 (solid) and 1.5 mm (long dashed lines) plotted as a function of the X-ray energy: (a) degree of circular polarization, PC, (b) transmittance, T, and (c) figure of merit, M = PCT1/2. Thick and thin lines represent the calculation results assuming an X-ray energy bandwidth of ΔE/E = 1.1 × 10−4 and 0.5 × 10−4, respectively. |
