Abstract:Abstract:Extremely bright coherent femtosecond x-ray pulses are generated in compact laserdriven electron accelerators. Micro-tomography obtained with the Gemini laser indicates the usefulness of these sources in research and clinical applications.OCIS codes: (140.7090) Ultrafast lasers; (170.7440) X-ray imaging.
Laser driven x-ray sourceThe acceleration of electrons in gas targets is a core research activity on short pulse (<100 fs) petawatt-class (1PW=10 15 W) laser systems. As an intense laser pulse propaga… Show more
