Abstract
In this article we describe a new slit grating spectrograph which is based on an e-beam written 10 000 linepairs/mm freestanding transmission diffraction grating. In combination with a thinned, back-illuminated charge coupled device (CCD), the spectrograph allows for real-time spectroscopy of laser-produced plasma x-ray sources within the wavelength region λ=1–20 nm. Calibration of grating and CCD allow for the possibility to measure absolute photon fluxes, currently within the wavelength region λ=1–6 nm. The compact spectrograph is easy to align and flexible in its use. Absolutely calibrated spectra were obtained from a liquid-jet laser-plasma source in the water window, with a spectral resolution λ/Δλ⩾330 at λ=3.37 nm. A simple change in experimental geometry allowed single-shot spectra to be recorded with λ/Δλ⩾60 at the same wavelength. In addition, spectra from this laser-plasma source were measured within the range λ=9–20 nm.
