We investigate the diffraction properties of sectioned multilayers in Laue (transmission) geometry, at hard x-ray energies (9.5 and 19.5keV). Two samples are studied, a W∕Si multilayer of 200×(29nm) periods, and a Mo∕Si multilayer of 2020×(7nm) periods, with cross-section depths ranging from 2to17μm. Reflectivities as high as 70% are observed. This exceeds the theoretical limit for standard zone plates operating in the multibeam regime, demonstrating that all of the intensity can be directed into a single diffraction order in small-period structures.
