The x-ray interferometer is not a joke. In about 1974, Gerd Materlik built one for his thesis and inserted it in front of my beamline at the DESY synchrotron. The beam splitters and "mirrors" were all carved out of a single block of perfect single crystal silicon. He inserted a wedge of plastic

Dear Bernhard, your paper is actually not so much of a joke. Are you aware of K. Huemmer's and E. Weckert's three-beam experiments? See e.g. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4615-5879-8_24 Best regards, Tim On Wednesday, April 1, 2020 4:00:19 AM CEST Bernhard Rupp wrote: > Hi F

Bear in mind that position of the interferometer mirror or whatever would have to be constant to within a fraction of an Angstrom- breathe on the frame and it will warm ever so slightly- the expansion will change the phase of the reference beam by a few thousand wavelengths. A real engineering

That's fascinating! Can such an interferometer actually be constructed for an X-ray beam line or is this still in the realm of the theoretical possible? Daniel ___ Daniel M. Himmel, Ph. D. E-mail: danielmhim...@gmail.com On Tue, Mar 31, 2020 at 10:01 PM Bernhard Rupp wrote:

Hi Fellows, just in time for a little reading during quarantine-induced boredom here preprint pages (embargoed until 04.01) from my recent Phys. Rev. paper with a different take on phasing https://tinyurl.com/Phys-Rev-2020 Enjoy, BR --
