A compact, high-repetition rate, ultrashort-pulse laser-driven hard-x-ray source based on the combination of a femtosecond laser system with an x-ray diode is demonstrated. A comparison with available laser-plasma hard-x-ray sources is presented.Hard-x-ray fluxes exceeding 10 10 photons/s (emitted in 4π) are realized at a repetition rate of 250 kHz. Numerical modeling is performed which proves that picosecond and sub-picosecond hard-x-ray pulses can be produced with this source.

“…In [6] 200-ps hard-x-ray pulses have been generated using photocathodes illuminated by 16 ps ultraviolet laser radiation at 213 nm. With 70 µJ laser pulses and an irradiated photocathode area of A ~ 0.1 cm 2 Girardeau-Montaut et al have produced 10 7 hard-x-ray photons per pulse or 10 8 /s using a thullium target.…”

“…In these experiments the x-ray diode has been operated at the space-charge limit in order to extract the maximum electron charge per laser pulse from the photocathode. In [18], 200-ps hard-x-ray pulses have been generated using photocathodes illuminated by 16-ps ultraviolet laser radiation at 213 nm. With 70-µJ laser pulses focused to a spot size of 0.1 cm 2 , Girardeau-Montaut et al have produced 10 7 hard-x-ray photons per pulse or 10 8 /s using a thullium target.…”

Recent progress in the development of a compact, high-repetition rate, ultrashort-pulse laser-driven hard-x-ray source based on the combination of a femtosecond laser system with an x-ray diode is reported. The x-ray source is characterized in terms of spectral and spatial properties. Hard-x-ray fluxes exceeding 2×10 10 photons/s (emitted in 4π sr) are realized at a repetition rate of 250 kHz. A comparison with available laser-plasma hard-x-ray sources is presented. Numerical modeling is performed which proves that picosecond and sub-picosecond hard-x-ray pulses can be produced with this source. Further prospects and possible applications of the femtosecond laser-driven xray diode are outlined.

“…Presently, such experiments are executed with synchrotron-based x-ray sources 1-5 or with laserplasma-based sources, where phase transitions, 6 phonons, 6-10 nonthermal melting, 11,12 etc. Thereby, the length of the pulses has decreased from a few nanoseconds 14 to hundred picoseconds, 15 and picoseconds. In contrast to synchrotrons, plasma-based sources can be used in small research facilities.…”
