Abstract
A new type of X-ray interferometer which uses Bragg case transmission for beam splitting and for beam recombination is described. The principles and special problems of this interferometer are discussed and a strict plane-wave treatment of the interference phenomena is presented. The feasibility of such a device is demonstrated by some interference patterns, obtained with an instrument made from a silicon crystal for use with copperKα radiation and the 220 Bragg reflection. Since, for the operation of the Bragg case interferometer, strong absorption is not essential, such devices may also be more suitable than the previously reported Laue case interferometer1,2 for use with neutrons.
