We extend prior monochromatization work to improve accuracy, especially for discrete spectra, and also demonstrate how PaCMAN can be converted into Ms. PaCMAN, a multi-spectral variant that outperforms multi-spectral ePIE. When comparing speed-optimized ePIE and PaCMAN, we achieve high reconstruction quality in 4x less time, and when they are dose-optimized, we achieve high reconstruction quality in 1.5-2x less dose. These algorithms will enable rapid sub-10 nm imaging with table-top soft X-ray high harmonic supercontinua, advance attosecond coherent diffractive imaging, and reduce the dose needed to image radiation sensitive materials.}, year = {2025}, journal = {Opt.
