Abstract
A high-pass x-ray filter device is disclosed that includes a substrate defining an elongated opening. A reflecting membrane is positioned across the opening and supported, along all sides, by the substrate. The reflecting membrane is configured to transmit, from an incident x-ray beam, x-ray photons having an energy above about a threshold energy level and reflects, from the incident x-ray beam, x-ray photons having an energy below about the threshold energy level. The elongated opening of the substrate defines an exit path for the transmitted x-ray beam. A high-pass x-ray filter system including the high-pass filter device and a method of fabrication of the high-pass filter device are also disclosed.
