It is shown that an extremely inclined X‐ray double‐crystal monochromator can diffract a beam with the required wavelength and at the same time may reflect a great deal of unwanted radiation in a broad range of Bragg angles. This is a generalization of the idea of Cowan & Brennan [ Rev. Sci. Instrum. (1989), 60 , 1987–1990], which partially solves the radiation heat load problem. The properties of such a device are discussed. It is shown that in some cases the diffracted beam may be significantly broadened as a result of refraction effects. In these cases a four‐crystal arrangement or an additional mirror is necessary.
