Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for in situ characterization of matter in the high energy density regime. An EXAFS platform is currently being developed on the National Ignition Facility. Development of a suitable X-ray backlighter involves minimizing the temporal duration and source size while maximizing spectral smoothness and brightness. One approach involves imploding a spherical shell, which generates a high-flux X-ray flash at stagnation. Furthermore we present results from a series of experiments comparing the X-ray source properties produced by imploded empty and Ar-filled capsules.
