Ultrashort time-resolved x-ray source
This patent describes an x-ray source. It comprises a pulsed laser beam generating means for producing laser beam pulses; an electron source means for producing a quantity of electrons in response to each of the laser beam pulses; a high voltage means energizable to generate an electric field for accelerating produced quantities of electrons as an electron beam; a high voltage switching means disposed for receiving the laser beam pulses for energizing the high voltage means for a period of time coincident with or subsequent to receipt of the laser beam pulses so that quantities of electrons produced since the previous energization are accelerated together, as a packet of electrons, to form the electron beam; and an electronic beam target means for intercepting the accelerated packet of electrons forming the electron beam, and for producing from such interception an x-ray pulse.
