Four quartz, orthogonal, cylindrical mirror pairs, two of which are coated with nickel, image the x-ray emission from laser fusion targets on hard film with a magnification of 3. K-edge filters used in conjunction with the mirror pairs permit us to take simultaneous pictures in four energy bands between 0.7 and 3.5 keV. We have measured microscope resolution, mirror reflection efficiency, and film sensitivity and used them to deduce the absolute emissivity and spectral characteristics of various laser fusion targets. This instrument is now used routinely for studying laser-generated plasmas at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
