Abstract
Intense ArKα x ray with very little continuum background has been generated using a dense Ar gas irradiated with an intense femtosecond laser, with the measured flux of 1.2×103photons∕mrad2/pulse. This compact quasimonochromatic x-ray source, with a source size of only 12μm, has been applied to x-ray radiographic imaging of a biological specimen, resulting in high-resolution, high quality phase-contrast images. Correlation between this intense Kα emission with the laser channeling in the Ar gas is discussed.
