Abstract: The invention relates to an optical device intended to treat an incident X-ray beam. The optical device comprises a monochromator and an optical element for conditioning the incident beam. The reflective surface of the optical element is able to produce a two-dimensional optical effect in order to adapt a beam in destination of the monochromator. The reflective surface of the optical element comprises a multilayer structure type surface that is reflective to X-rays. In particular, the reflective surface consists of a single surface shaped according to two curvatures corresponding to two different directions.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optical assembly with a laterally graded reflective multilayer whose reflecting surface reflects incident X-rays under low incidence angles to produce a two-dimensional optical effect. The reflecting surface comprises a single surface conformed along two curvatures corresponding to two different directions. The invention also relates to a manufacturing method of such an optical assembly. The method includes coating a substrate already having a curvature. The invention also relates to a device for generating and conditioning X-rays for applications for angle-dispersive X-ray reflectometry. The device includes the optical assembly connected to an X-ray source so that X-rays emitted by the source are conditioned along two dimensions so as to adapt the beam emitted by the source to the sample, with the X-rays having different angles of incidence on the sample under consideration.
