We present preliminary investigations of a potential optics system for wideband X-ray telescopes.The optical design adopts the conical approximation of the Wolter-I configuration and a combination of multilayer coatings and silicon pore optics.The total number of mirror modules is 79,distributed in 8 rows with the radii at the intersection plane between 250 mm and 500 mm.The optimization of the total effective area using the figure of merits method suggests that the focal length is 30 m and the mirror coating is a combination of the W/Si and Pt/C multilayers.This fulfills the on-axis effective area requirements of 2000 cm2 at 10 keV and 300 cm2 at 60 keV and provides a broad energy response between 3 keV and 78.4 keV.With the current geometry and coating compositions,we implement a mass modeling of the telescope in Geant4 to predict mirror performances via the ray-tracing algorithm,including the angular resolution and effective area.With the presumed metrological data as input,this can provide precision and finishing requirements for the manufacture of optics.This work demonstrates the feasibility of combining multilayer coatings and silicon pore optics for potential use in wideband X-ray telescopes and advances the development and progress of such missions.
