Abstract

Optical fibers have reached a remarkable level of development in this decade. However, those for the shorter wavelength region such as vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) or soft x-ray light remain undeveloped. For guiding such short wavelength light, several types of mirror are utilized using the fact that the real part of the refractive index of glass is less than unity at those wavelengths. The reflection coefficient at the small angle of grazing incidence is very near to unity. With the same principle, hollow glass fibers can collect and transmit VUV or soft x-ray radiation.1–3 In this paper, the transmission factors of a hollow fused silica fiber as functions of radiation wavelength λ (25–75 Å) and of curvature angle ψ (0–90°) are given quantitatively.
