Abstract

The propagation of soft x-rays generated by a small-diameter incoherent source through a tapered, plane capillary-type waveguide was studied using the Fresnel-Kirchhoff theory and method of images. The diffraction and interference are manifested by the appearance of the diffraction fringes in both the near- and far-field zones of the waveguide output. The experimental data confirm such behaviour of the x-radiation.
