Ion beam figuring for X-ray mirrors: history, state-of-the-art and future prospects by Riley Shurvinton, Hongchang Wang, Paresh Pradhan, Ioana-Theodora Nistea, Simon Alcock, Murilo Bazan Da Silva, Arindam Majhi, Kawal Sawhney

“…However, post-polishing error correction can be performed using techniques such as ion beam figuring (IBF) to improve optics to the desired quality. This work presents a brief overview of the history of IBF, introduces some of the challenges for obtaining such demanding figure errors, and highlights the work done at several in-house IBF facilities at synchrotron light sources worldwide to obtain state-of-the-art optical quality.…”
