High-resolution 17–75keV backlighters for high energy density experiments

17 – 75 keV one- and two-dimensional high-resolution (<10μm) radiography has been developed using high-intensity short pulse lasers. High energy Kα sources are created by fluorescence from hot electrons interacting in the target material after irradiation by lasers with intensity IL>1017W∕cm2. High-resolution point projection one- and two-dimensional radiography has been achieved using microfoil and microwire targets attached to...
