  title = {Analytic theory of soft x-ray diffraction by lamellar multilayer gratings},
  abstract = {An analytic theory describing soft x-ray diffraction by Lamellar Multilayer Gratings (LMG) has been developed. The theory is derived from a coupled waves approach for LMGs operating in the single-order regime, where an incident plane wave can only excite a single diffraction order. The results from calculations based on these very simple analytic expressions are demonstrated to be in excellent agreement with those obtained using the rigorous coupled-waves approach. The conditions for maximum reflectivity and diffraction efficiency are deduced and discussed. A brief investigation into p-polarized radiation diffraction is also performed.
