HORIBA Scientific, France
The holographic recording technique coupled with the ion-etching process allow to achieve very high groove density up to ~6000gr/mm optimized in EUV and Soft X-Ray. We will describe the method for grating optimization.

We propose, fabricate, and evaluate the ring-focusing mirror that can produce the x-ray beam having the ring-shaped intensity distribution. The ring-shaped intensity successfully profiles are observed at the soft x-ray beamline (BL25SU) of SPring-8.

We observed ghost imaging by using parametrically down-converted x-ray photon pairs. We reconstructed the image of slits with nominally zero background levels. Our procedure can lead to observations of many quantum phenomena at x-ray wavelengths.

We present the observation of the non-monotonic spectral dependence of parametric down conversion of x rays into ultraviolet. We propose a model that includes nonlinear interactions with plasmons, which explains the existence of the resonances.
