چکیده
An x-ray pinhole camera and a monochromatic K(α) imager are used to measure the interactions of intense femtosecond laser pulses with Cu foil targets. The two diagnostics give different features in the spot size and the laser energy scaling, which are resulted from different physical processes. Under our experimental conditions, the K(α) emission is mainly excited by the fast electrons transporting inside the cold bulk target. In contrast, the x-ray pinhole signals are dominated by the broadband thermal x-ray emission from the hot plasma at the front target surface.

Kα Cold-Target Imaging and Preheat Measurement Using a Pinhole-Array X-Ray Spectrometer
182 LLE Review, Volume 75 Two-dimensional (2-D) monochromatic imaging of laser-imploded targets1–6 is useful for diagnosing target compression and stability. Here we present a simple method for such imaging, using an array of about 300 pinholes placed in front of a flat-crystal x-ray spectrometer. The main advantage of this method (in addition to its simplicity) is the ability to simultaneously...
متن کاملSpace- and time-resolved monochromatic x-ray imaging for laser-imploded core plasma
In fast ignition scheme [1], dense plasma formation and additional heating with an ultra-short high-energy laser pulse are of great importance. In particular, implosion dynamics and energy transport process by fast particles must be investigated with x-ray spectroscopy and imaging in order to attain efficient fusion burn. We have measured the electron temperature and density profiles of laser-i...
متن کاملReconstruction of Quasi-Monochromatic Images for Multispectral X-ray Imaging with a Pinhole Array and a Flat Bragg Mirror
We have developed a software package for reconstruction of quasi-monochromatic images from a multiple monochromatic x-ray imager for inertial confinement fusion implosions. The instrument consists of a pinhole array, a multi-layer Bragg mirror, and a image detector. The pinhole array projects hundreds of images onto the detector after reflection off the multi-layer Bragg mirror, which introduce...

A new optic system that produces a monochromatic microbeam for both CuKα and CrKα radiation for X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been developed. Multilayer optics technology is a well-known tool to produce a monochromatic micro X-ray beam for XRD. This new optic was combined with a microfocus rotating anode X-ray generator and a cylindrical imaging plate detector to provide a complete dual wavelengt...
متن کاملA novel technique for single-shot energy-resolved 2D x-ray imaging of plasmas relevant for the inertial confinement fusion.
A novel x-ray diagnostic of laser-fusion plasmas is described, allowing 2D monochromatic images of hot, dense plasmas to be obtained in any x-ray photon energy range, over a large domain, on a single-shot basis. The device (named energy-encoded pinhole camera) is based upon the use of an array of many pinholes coupled to a large area CCD camera operating in the single-photon mode. The available...
