SOFT X-RAY GENERATOR ASSISTED BY LASER

摘要

A high desnity pulsed plasma generator is disposed in axial alignment with a high energy pulse laser to receive laser radiation from the laser axially to the movement of the plasma blob along the centterline of the center electrode of the plasma gun. A high Z-material is disposed between the laser output and the plasma for evaporation by the laser and subsequent injection of heavy z-ions into the plasma for enhancing x-ray radiation from the plasma. Electrrical circuit means is provided for energizing the plasma gun and the laser at predetermined times.
