摘要: A system and a method of generating radiation and/or particle emissions are disclosed. In at least some embodiments, the includes one laser source that generates first pulse second in temporal succession, target, where target (or portion target) becomes plasma upon being exposed to pulse. The expand after exposure pulse, expanded is then emission occurs solid piece material, time period between pulses less than 1 microsecond (e.g., 840 ns).
