Measurements of x-rays emitted by hot plasmas provide a powerful diagnostic method of determining important plasma parameters and suggest certain types of plasmas as possibly useful x-ray sources. Instrumentation to accomplish these measurements for various types of plasmas are reviewed. State-of-the-art x-ray spectrometers, calorimeters, and source-imaging devices, designed especially for plasmas generated by focused, nanosecond laser pulses are described. Possibilities of time-resolved measurements on such short-lived plasmas are discussed.

The instrumentation for measuring x-ray yields from laser produced plasma is described. This new type of calorimeter is composed of a silicon detector, a charge-sensitive preamplifier and an analog-to-digital readout scheme for multiplexing up to ten detector outputs.X-rays interacting with the detector produce hole-electron pairs in proportion to the total energy lost in the detector (∼1012 eV). In this application the detector can be characterized as a solid-state ionization chamber. The detector signal is coupled to a charge-sensitive preamplifier which generates a voltage pulse proportional to the x-ray energy absorbed. In this way the x-ray energy is measured by “direct conversion” rather than measuring the temperature rise due to an energy flux.
