Soft x-ray optics 1971-1981, a personal history
Abstract
This paper is a recollection of my involvement in the development of multilayer x-ray optics, from the first day in 1971 to 1981. The period covers the time from the discovery to the first conferences were multilayer structures were recognized as important elements for x-ray imaging, especially for astronomy.
