Exploding foils with artificial structure as a source of ultraviolet radiation

The results of the study radiation produced by electrical explosion Al foil with a thickness 4 μm an artificial periodic structure holes 50–400 steps created laser engraving are presented. experiments were carried out on KING pulse high-current generator (220 kA, 40 kV, 300 ns). Images exploded foils recorded using pinhole cameras 20 aperture four-frame microchannel plate camera 5 ns temporal resolution. In thin foils, it was shown that application to leads much more uniform in UV spectrum range along entire length and width foil. Uniform observed from 70 ns. It is such can be used for imaging test objects or plasma like wires.
