The optics of successive Bragg reflection by two bent crystals is considered in the lamellar approximation. The optimal curvatures ensuring minimal rocking-curve widths and good reflection efficiencies are determined. The conditions under which a rocking curve reproduces the reflectivity curve of a bent crystal are indicated. Analytical formulae for the rocking-curve width and peak intensity are derived for three simple limiting cases. The computations are supported by experimental results obtained with bent perfect silicon crystals.
