低功率密度激光驱动的类镍钽X射线激光

“水窗”附近的X射线激光对于生物全息和成像方面的研究有着独特的优点和价值，因此倍受重视。特别是波长位于“水窗”外沿的4．48nm的类镍钽X射线激光更是进行生物全息研究最合适的工具之一。但是，波长越短的激光，其产生的条件也就越苛刻。一般只有采用非常大规模的激光装置才有可能获得一定强度的输出。对于类镍钽X射线激光来说，20世纪90年代，LLNL利用数千焦耳能量的激光驱动，获得了GL≈8的输出；2002年，在“神光”-Ⅱ激光装置上利用基频、倍频联合驱动的方式，以不足400J的驱动激光，获得了GL≈5．5的好结果。但是要以同样方式获得更好的结果，却受到了器件的限制。

Volume effect of laser produced plasma on X-ray emissions

An investigation of x-ray emission from Cu plasma produced by 1.054 μm Nd:glass laser pulses of 5 ns duration, at 2 × 10¹² − 2 × 10¹³ W cm⁻² is reported. The x-ray emission has been studied as a function of target position with respect to the laser beam focus position. It has been observed that x-ray emissions from ns duration plasma show a volume effect similar to subnanosecond plasmas. Due to this effect the x-ray yield increases when target is moved away relative to the best focal plane of the laser beam. This result supports the theoretical model of Tallents and has also been testified independently using suitably modified theoretical model for our experimental conditions. While above result is in good agreement with similar experimental results obtained for sub-nanosecond laser produced plasmas, it differs from result claiming filamentation rather than pure geometrical effect leading to x-ray enhancement for ns plasmas.     

Tantalum ion acceleration in laser‐generated plasma and dependence on the pulse duration

The laser irradiation of tantalum targets is presented for different pulsed laser intensities ranging from 10¹⁰ up to about 10¹⁸ W/cm² and pulse durations from 9 ns up to 40 fs. The results show that the produced non‐equilibrium plasma accelerates Ta ions in the backward direction from values of the order of keV up to values of about 5 MeV. In thin foils, the forward plasma, developed behind the target along the direction of incoming laser, at intensities of about 10¹⁶ W/cm² and 300 ps pulse duration, accelerates Ta ions at energies of the order of 4.6 MeV and produces charge states up to about 40+. For fs lasers at intensities of the order of 10¹⁸ W/cm², only proton acceleration occurs up to 2.1 MeV while no Ta ions are accelerated, due to the reduced duration of the electric field and to the too high inertial mass of the Ta ions.
