Abstract
It is shown that it is feasible to use a laser plasma (LP) source, based on a small laser system (typically a Nd:YAG or a KrF with pulse energy ≈0.5 J), in place of a synchrotron as a source for imaging purposes, scanning x-ray microscopy (STXM) in particular. Carbon spectra in the water window (2.3 – 4.4 nm) were obtained using a transmission grating (≈8700 lines/mm) and recorded with Kodak S101 film; the spectra were used to determine the absolute numbers of photons in individual carbon emission lines. The problem of debris production usually associated with laser plasma work and its alleviation is also addressed in this paper.KeywordsLaser PlasmaZone PlateDebris ParticleCarbon LineCylindrical TargetThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
