摘要: Abstract The production of X-rays is examined for photon energies in the range ∼3–5 KeV Created when a laser 0.53 μm wavelength, 100 psec pulse duration and energy ∼15 J focussed onto various targets dimension ≲ 10 μm. aim to produce point source (⩽15 μm) suitable, example, as backlighter laser-fusion experiments. We found that tin (Sn) best emitter 3–5 keV materials studied (Ca, Ti, Sn, Te, CsI) stripe are better emitters than fibre targets.
