The double crystal diffraction structure based on Bragg diffraction is the core component of the monochromator that is widely used in synchrotron radiation beam lines and monochromatic X-ray radiation devices. The stability of monochromatic X-rays produced by using the T-structure double crystal monochromator at National Institute of Metrology was investigated experimentally. Due to its structural defects, the X-ray flux of the T-structured double crystal monochromator shows poor long-term stability. Inspired by the Channel-cut monochromator structure, we designed a new double crystal monochromator structure to improve the long-term stability of the X-ray flux. Experiments showed that the stability of the monochromatic X-ray flux for the new double crystal monochromator structure was better than 1.0%@1 h, and the energy region and flux rate of the monochromatic X-rays are significantly improved. This work provides a stable and reliable monochromatic X-ray source for the calibration of X/γ detectors such as satellite load detectors, which will contribute to the development of X/γ detection technology.
