NTT-AT has been supplying high-quality XUV, EUV, and X-ray mirrors for more than 20 years. In particular, backed by its extensive experience and outstanding skills, it provides custom-designable multi-layer film mirrors adapted to meet individual customer requirements.
Since the 1990s, NTT-AT has developed and sold extreme ultraviolet (XUV or EUV) multi-layer mirrors and X-ray mirrors. The design of these mirrors reflects the feedback received from university, research institute, and enterprise customers in Asia, North America, South America, and Europe. Our vast reservoir of accumulated know-how and reliable technologies are what support the production of your multi-layer mirror.
Research institutes around the world have continued to choose NTT-AT’s multi-layer mirrors because of their quality. Multi-layer materials and structure are customized to meet your detailed specifications, such as substrate, peak wavelength, bandwidth, and dispersion. High heat-durability multi-layer mirrors are also supported. A reflectivity evaluation service using synchrotron facilities is also available as an option.

Multi-layer mirror for K-B mirror system
W/B4C multi-layer and W/C multi-layer film mirrors have high reflectivity for hard X-ray applications. To reflect and concentrate a hard X-ray efficiently, it is necessary to minimize the oblique angle of incidence. This requires a long mirror length and a small multi-layer film cycle length.
