Concepts for an optimized Kirkpatrick-Baez mirror module for a high throughput LAMAR facilityAlternative concepts are proposed for the design and fabrication of Kirkpartick-Baez nested crossed plate reflectors applicable to a high throughput, moderate resolution X-ray facility composed of a Large Area Modular Array of Reflectors (LAMAR). Numerical, structural and optical analyses are used to quantify the performance characteristics of the concepts proposed. It is found that the theoretical performance of certain concepts approaches the 0.2-min resolution of a perfect parabola of translation. The instrument under consideration has about 1000 sq cm of effective area, or five times greater area than that of the Einstein Observatory.
