Diffraction Gratings for X-ray Spectroscopy
Ralf K. Heilmann, David P. Huenemoerder, Jake A. McCoy +1
X-ray diffraction gratings play an essential role in high-resolution spectroscopy of astrophysical phenomena. We present some scientific highlights from the X-ray grating spectrome…
A Primer for Telemetry Interfacing in Accordance with NASA Standards Using Low Cost FPGAs
Jake A. McCoy, Ted B. Schultz, James H. Tutt +3
Photon counting detector systems on sounding rocket payloads often require interfacing asynchronous outputs with a synchronously clocked telemetry (TM) stream. Though this can be h…
Applied Nanofabrication for X-ray Grating Spectroscopy
Jake A. McCoy
Measuring the diffuse, highly-ionized baryonic content in galactic halos and the intergalactic medium through soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy of active galactic nuclei is a main…
Fabrication of astronomical x-ray reflection gratings using thermally activated selective topography equilibration
Jake A. McCoy, Randall L. McEntaffer, Chad M. Eichfeld
Thermally activated selective topography equilibration (TASTE) enables the creation of 3D structures in resist using grayscale electron-beam lithography followed by a thermal treat…
X-ray verification of sol-gel resist shrinkage in substrate-conformal imprint lithography for a replicated blazed reflection grating
Jake A. McCoy, Marc A. Verschuuren, Drew M. Miles +1
Surface-relief gratings fabricated through nanoimprint lithography (NIL) are prone to topographic distortion induced by resist shrinkage. Characterizing the impact of this effect o…
Extreme Ultraviolet and Soft X-Ray Diffraction Efficiency of a Blazed Reflection Grating Fabricated by Thermally Activated Selective Topography Equilibration
Jake A. McCoy, Randall L. McEntaffer, Drew M. Miles
Future observatories utilizing reflection grating spectrometers for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) spectroscopy require high-fidelity gratings with both blazed groo…
