| contents | The study of the celestial phenomena in the hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray band(20 keV--1 MeV) is very intriguing but also very difficult to be performed with the needed sensitivity. In this review I will discuss the astrophysical importance of the soft gamma-ray astronomy, its difficulties to solve its issues with the current instrumentation, and a possible solution achievable using focusing Laue lens. Concerning these instruments, I will discuss their functioning principle, how to achieve a high reflection efficiency, their imaging properties, the current feasibility studies, the technological developments and observation prospects. |
