Special tests of VUV and EUV optics (40602S)

Measurements of optics and detectors are made as a function of wavelength in the range of 4.5 nm to 400 nm. These measurements include specular reflectance of mirrors, diffraction efficiency of gratings, optical constants of materials, and other properties derived from reflectometry measurements. Angle of incidence for characterization can be varied from 10° to 80°. Optical components may have dimensions between 1 cm and 10 cm perpendicular to the beam and thickness up to 2 cm.  Please contact NIST staff prior to ordering to discuss the feasibility of the measurement, pricing, availability, and schedule. Arrangements for measurements on submitted test items must be made before shipment. NIST will decide whether and how to perform the measurements. Test items not accepted for measurement will be returned.
