“…As active medium it employs a highly ionized plasma which can be generated by a capillary discharge or by an optical laser pulse focused onto a solid target. While first devices provided radiation with a relatively poor coherence [36], nowadays this issue is overcome and diffraction limited beams in the EUV and soft x-ray range are generated [37,38]. Still, these systems are rather complex and their availability is limited to a few research groups only.…”

“…It has been demonstrated that applications such as X-ray microscopy (Hertz et al 2009) or spectroscopy (Vogt et al 2004), which were restricted to synchrotron experiments could be realized. Apart from plasma sources, also other tabletop setups operating with high harmonic generation (Seres et al 2007;Zepf et al 2007) or X-ray lasers (Wang et al 2006) generate Xradiation of high brilliance. Laser plasmas are attractive compact X-ray sources due to their small size, high spatial stability and high brightness, and/or high flux.…”

Purpose We present the characterization of environmental samples using near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra recorded with an in-house device. We want to point out the feasibility of such an easily accessed complementary technique, if not sometimes alternative to NEXAFS studies performed with synchrotron radiation, as the number of compact setups is increasing. Materials and methods The experiments were carried out using a laser-driven plasma source. We studied heterogeneous samples like refractory organic substances to demonstrate the potential of NEXAFS spectra, achieved by such an instrument, concerning specimens of high chemical complexity.Results and discussion From the respective resonance peaks in the spectra, the presence of certain functional groups, such as aromatic or carbonyl groups, is verified, and the elemental composition is estimated. The results of the reference samples are consistent with the literature. For the environmental samples, external influences of the extraction solvent or fertilizers can be determined from the spectra. Conclusions This could provide the possibility to perform test experiments with samples, which are later studied in more detail with synchrotron light and might as well give an impulse on the broader spread of the application of NEXAFS spectroscopy.

“…Images of carbon nanotubes were obtained with 46±2 nm resolution determined by a knife edge test. Continuing development of highly coherent table-top EUV/SXR lasers in the vicinity of 10 nm (Wang et al, 2006) can be expected to enable future holographic imaging only limited by the photoresist resolution. Increasing flux of the EUV and SXR table top lasers opens a perspective in the future for www.intechopen.com Two and Three Dimensional Extreme Ultraviolet Holographic Imaging with a Nanometer Spatial Resolution 323 single shot recording, permitting full field time resolved holographic imaging.…”
