Laser Generation of Hard X-Rays and Medical Applications

Abstract

By tightly focusing ultra-short pulses from a Ti:sapphire terawatt laser onto a high-Z metallic target, hard x-ray pulses of short temporal duration are produced [1,2]. In most of our previous work concerning x-rays at the Lund Laser Center a laser with a pulse energy of about 150 mJ and a pulse duration of 110 fs has been used. Along with the main pulses, delivered at 10 Hz, this laser system also produces important pre pulses, which create a plasma for the main pulse to interact with.
