Ti X-Ray Laser Shadowgraphy Experiment

An x-ray laser shadowgraphy experiment was conducted on Xingguang-II laser facility in 1996. A multi-layer spherical mirror was used as an imaging element and a high sensitivity CCD camera as a detector. We measured the near-field image of the Ti x-ray laser beam. With a Ti x-ray laser beam as a backlight source, we obtained a clear CU mesh image, demonstrating the potential as advanced diagnostic measurements to study high density plasmas in inertial confinement fusion research.
