Monochromatic X-Ray Emission from Laser Produced Plasma with A Clean Ultra-Short Laser Pulse

X-ray Emission Spectra from Laser-produced Cobalt Plasma

Soft X-ray Emission from Post-Pulse Expanding Laser-Produced Plasmas

A new diagnostic spectrometer has been developed at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) to measure the time resolved absolute intensity of radiation emitted by the Nike laser irradiated targets. The spectrometer consists of a dispersive transmission grating of 2500 lines/mm or 5000 lines/mm and a detection system consisting of an absolutely calibrated Si photodiode array and a CCD camera. In th...

Short-pulse laser-produced plasmas

In this review, the physics of short-pulse laser-produced plasmas at moderate intensities is described, together with applications to x-ray sources and material processing.

Enhancement of x-ray line emission from plasmas produced by short high-intensity laser double pulses.

Femtosecond laser-produced plasmas are bright ultrafast line x-ray sources potentially suitable for different applications including material science and biology. The conversion efficiency of the laser energy incident onto a solid target into the x-ray emission is significantly enhanced when a laser prepulse precedes the main pulse. The details of x-ray line emission from solid targets irradiat...
