Polarization splitting with cubic crystals evaluated with synchrotron radiation
Abstract
X-ray polarization-splitting crystals separate incident x rays into two components with perpendicular polarization by Bragg reflections at 45° from paired sets of internal planes. Here, the polarization-splitting properties of a germanium crystal are verified using incompletely polarized synchrotron radiation. Cleaner data would have come from a beam with a higher degree of polarization, which is achievable with small changes in the experimental geometry.
