“…For this purpose, an ultrashort laser pulse irradiates a target consisting of a thin Al sample layer (SL) buried in solid carbon. The possibility of heating buried SLs up to temperatures of several 100 eV has already been shown in previous experiments [10][11][12][13]. For quantitative spectroscopy, this technique offers substantial advantages compared to our previous work [9] performed with massive Al targets.…”

Targets consisting of 25 nm Al layers buried in solid carbon at depths of up to 400 nm have been irradiated with frequency doubled Ti:sapphire laser pulses of 150 fs duration at an intensity of a few 10 17 W/cm 2 . The analysis of the emitted Al K-shell spectra yields densities close to that of solid Al and temperatures around 500 eV. By using the cold Si Kα line for wavelength calibration, the presence of a red dense-plasma line shift for several K-shell resonance and associated satellite lines is clearly demonstrated.

“…X-ray spectra are a fundamental diagnostic tool of local conditions in high-temperature plasmas such as those produced by ultrapowerful (up to PW-level) and ultrashort (of the order of fs) pulse laser sources able to give rise to a new regime of hot and dense plasmas [40][41][42][43]. Specifically, in these spectra, an essential role is covered by satellite lines in the vicinity of the parent spectral structures for obtaining useful information about plasma parameters (e.g., density, temperature, opacity, etc.…”

A review focused on plasma induced on solid target by GW-level pulsed laser source is presented. A description of the Tor Vergata laser-plasma source (TVLPS), at the Tor Vergata University in Rome, is given. Such a facility uses a 1 GW, tabletop, multistage Nd:YAG/Glass laser system, delivering infrared (IR) pulses with nanosecond width and 1064 nm wavelength (TEM00 mode). Its applications are discussed providing: wide analysis of IR → soft X-ray conversion efficiency (1.3–1.55 keV); measures and modeling of line emission in soft X-ray spectra, such as those from zinc plasma near Ne-like Zn XXI and from barium plasma near Ni-like Ba XXIX. Particular attention is devoted to high-n dielectronic Rydberg satellites for finding a useful diagnostic tool for plasma conditions. Dependence of plasma spectra on laser parameters is shown. Finally, microradiography applications are presented for thin biological samples. Images permit to visualize specific structures and detect bioaccumulation sites due to contamination from pollutants.
