Compact x-ray microscope for the water window based on a high brightness laser plasma source.
We present a laser plasma based x-ray microscope for the water window employing a high-average power laser system for plasma generation. At 90 W laser power a brightness of 7.4 x 10(11) photons/(s x sr x μm(2)) was measured for the nitrogen Lyα line emission at 2.478 nm. Using a multilayer condenser mirror with 0.3 % reflectivity 10(6) photons/(μm(2) x s) were obtained in the object plane. Micr...
متن کاملCompact water-window transmission X-ray microscopy.
We demonstrate sub-100 nm resolution water-window soft X-ray full-field transmission microscopy with a compact system. The microscope operates at lambda = 3.37 nm and is based on a 100 Hz table-top regenerative debris-free droplet-target laser-plasma X-ray source in combination with normal-incidence multilayer condenser optics for sample illumination. High-spatial-resolution imaging is performe...
متن کاملEfficient " water window " soft x - ray high - Z plasma
Unresolved transition array (UTA) is scalable to shorter wavelengths, and we demonstrate a table-top broadband emission “water window” soft x-ray source based on laserproduced plasmas. Resonance emission from multiply charged ions merges to produce intense UTAs in the 2 to 4 nm region, extending below the carbon K edge (4.37 nm). An outline of a microscope design for single-shot live cell imagi...
متن کاملHigh Brightness Coherent X-ray Sources by High-Order Harmonic Generation and Parametric X-ray Amplification
The development of high-order harmonic (HH) generation at GSI aims at creating a seed source for soft X-ray lasers (SXRL) that are based on amplification of spontaneous emission. It has been demonstrated that a seeded SXRL possesses a higher beam quality in terms of spatial homogeneity and spatial coherence [1]. In combination with the narrow spectral bandwidth, seeded SXRL represent attractive...

In this paper, the production mechanisms and the spectral-angular distribution of X-ray Cherenkov radiation (XCR) was investigated in detail and some unique properties of XCR and its applications were discussed. It is shown that, in the vicinity of the atomic absorption edges, the real and the imaginary parts of the refractive index are varied drastically and for some materials the refractive i...
