Abstract

X-ray emission from a double-stream gas puff target irradiated with a nanosecond Nd:glass laser pulse was studied for the first time. The target was formed by pulsed injection of a high-density gas into a gas cloud by using the double-nozzle setup. This new concept allows a high-density gaseous target to be formed at a relatively large distance from the nozzle output. Enhanced X-ray emission in the 1-keV energy range and a smaller source size were observed as compared to the ordinary gas puff target created by pulsed injection of gas into vacuum. This new approach should be useful in the development of a laser-produced X-ray source for various applications.
