Picosecond-resolution soft-x-ray laser plasma interferometry.
We describe a soft-x-ray laser interferometry technique that allows two-dimensional diagnosis of plasma electron density with picosecond time resolution. It consists of the combination of a robust high-throughput amplitude-division interferometer and a 14.7-nm transient-inversion soft-x-ray laser that produces approximately 5-ps pulses. Because of its picosecond resolution and short-wavelength ...
متن کاملPicosecond x-ray laser interferometry of dense plasmas.
We present the first results from picosecond interferometry of dense laser-produced plasmas using a soft x-ray laser. The picosecond duration and short wavelength of the 14.7 nm Ni-like Pd laser mitigates effects associated with motion blurring and refraction through millimeter-scale plasmas. This enables direct measurement of the electron-density profile to within 10 microm of the target surfa...
متن کاملSingle-optical-element soft-x-ray interferometry with a laser-plasma x-ray source.
We report on a compact interferometer for the water-window soft-x-ray range that is suitable for operation with laser-plasma sources. The interferometer consists of a single diffractive optical element that focuses impinging x rays to two focal spots. The light from these two secondary sources forms the interference pattern. The interferometer was operated with a liquid-nitrogen jet laser-plasm...
متن کاملPicosecond soft x ray source from subpicosecond laser produced plasmas
Short pulse high intensity laser plasma interactions are investigated experimentally with temporally and spectrally resolved soft x ray diagnostics We demonstrate that the pulse width of the laser produced x rays emitted from solid targets may be varied down to the picosecond time scale by adjusting the incident laser ux Bright picosecond broadband emission characteristic of a short scale lengt...
متن کاملSoft-x-ray laser interferometry of a plasma with a tabletop laser and a Lloyd's mirror.
We report what is believed to be the first demonstration of soft-x-ray interferometry of a plasma with a tabletop soft-x-ray laser. A Lloyd's mirror interferometer was used in combination with a very compact lambda = 46.9 nm capillary-discharge-pumped laser to map the electron density in the cathode region of a pinch plasma.
