The possibility is discussed of using optical laser radiation with a êux density of b 10 20 W cm À2 to create an ultraintense X-ray source capable of producing polychromatic radiation with a power êux density of 10 19 W cm À2 or higher. The X-ray radiation of so high an intensity permits not only transforming a condensed target to a plasma state but also obtaining an exotic plasma state with a high density of hollow ions. Currently still not in wide use and available in only a few laboratories in the world, lasers with a êux density of about 10 20 W cm À2 are more compact and lower-cost compared to free-electron X-ray lasers or lasers used for the indirect heating of fusion targets. The source under discussion can produce by far higher X-ray intensities than plasma X-ray lasers of a similar scale.

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.
