4th – 5th April 2011 Diamond Light Source, Oxfordshire, UK

Following the success of earlier Adaptive & Active X-ray & XUV Optics (ACTOP) workshops (Soleil 2006, Elettra 2008, Osaka 2009), a 4th International workshop was held at Diamond Light Source Ltd, UK.

Topics covered:

• Reflective and refractive adaptive/active optics for SR and FEL sources
• Challenges for metrology
• X-ray beam shaping and wavefront optimisation
• Recent advances in optic fabrication and control technology
• Groundbreaking scientific progress enabled by adaptive / active optics
• Future requirements for adaptive / active optics at SR & FEL sources
