Title: Two-color monochromatic x-ray imaging with a single short-pulse laser

Abstract

Here, simultaneous monochromatic crystal imaging at 4.5 and 8.0 keV with x-rays produced by a single short-pulse laser is presented. A layered target consisting of thin foils of titanium and copper glued together is irradiated by the 50 TW Leopard short-pulse laser housed at the Nevada Terawatt Facility. Laser-accelerated MeV fast electrons transmitting through the target induce Kα fluorescence from both foils. Two energy-selective curved crystals in the imaging diagnostic form separate monochromatic images on a single imaging detector. The experiment demonstrates simultaneous two-color monochromatic imaging of the foils on a single detector as well as Kα x-ray production at two different photon energies with a single laser beam. Lastly, application of the diagnostic technique to x-ray radiography of a high density plasma is also presented.

2D monochromatic x-ray imaging for beam monitoring of an x-ray free electron laser and a high-power femtosecond laser

Journal Article Sawada, H. ; Trzaska, J. ; Curry, C. B. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

In pump–probe experiments with an X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) and a high-power optical laser, spatial overlap of the two beams must be ensured to probe a pumped area with the x-ray beam. A beam monitoring diagnostic is particularly important in short-pulse laser experiments where a tightly focused beam is required to achieve a relativistic laser intensity for generation of energetic particles. Here, we report the demonstration of on-shot beam pointing measurements of an XFEL and a terawatt class femtosecond laser using 2D monochromatic Kα imaging at the Matter in Extreme Conditions end-station of the Linac Coherent Light Source.

Development of broadband x-ray radiography for diagnosing magnetically driven cylindrically compressed matter

Journal Article Sawada, H. ; Daykin, T. S. ; Hutchinson, T. M. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Experiments and modeling of x-ray radiography of millimeter diameter solid Al wires with laser-produced broadband x rays are reported. Experiments were performed using the 50-TW Leopard short-pulse laser in a laser and pulsed power chamber at the Nevada Terawatt Facility. To characterize broadband x rays and demonstrate a radiographic capability, bremsstrahlung, escaping electrons, and radiograph images of Al wires were simultaneously measured. The angularly resolved x-ray spectra are modeled by comparing measured bremsstrahlung signals in the range between 10 and ~500 keV with hybrid particle-in-cell simulations. Transmission of Al wires from the radiograph images is further simulated with a Montemore »« less

Characterization of intense laser-produced fast electrons using hard x-rays via bremsstrahlung

Journal Article Sawada, H. ; Sentoku, Y. ; Bass, A. ; ... - Journal of Physics. B, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics

For this research, energy distribution of high-power, short-pulse laser produced fast electrons was experimentally and numerically studied using high-energy bremsstrahlung x-rays. The hard x-ray photons and escaping electrons from various metal foils, irradiated by the 50 TW Leopard laser at Nevada Terawatt Facility, were recorded with a differential filter stack spectrometer that is sensitive to photons produced by mainly 0.5–2 MeV electrons and an electron spectrometer measuring >2 MeV electrons. The experimental bremsstrahlung and the slope of the measured escaped electrons were compared with an analytic calculation using an input electron spectrum estimated with the ponderomotive scaling.

Monochromatic 2D $K α$ Emission Images Revealing Short-Pulse Laser Isochoric Heating Mechanism

Journal Article Sawada, H. ; Sentoku, Y. ; Yabuuchi, T. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The rapid heating of a thin titanium foil by a high intensity, subpicosecond laser is studied by using a 2D narrow-band x-ray imaging and x-ray spectroscopy. Here, a novel monochromatic imaging diagnostic tuned to 4.51 keV Ti Kα was used to successfully visualize a significantly ionized area ( < Z > >17±1) of the solid density plasma to be within a ~35 μm diameter spot in the transverse direction and 2 μm in depth. The measurements and a 2D collisional particle-in-cell simulation reveal that, in the fast isochoric heating of solid foil by an intense laser light, such a highmore »« less

Development of a predictive capability of short-pulse laser-driven broadband x-ray radiography

Journal Article Sawada, Hiroshi ; Salinas, Christopher M. ; Beg, Farhat N. ; ... - Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion

High intensity, short-pulse laser interaction with a solid metal target produces broadband hard x-rays potentially for various applications of x-ray radiography. In this work, experimental benchmarking of numerical modelling for short-pulse laser-driven broadband x-ray radiography is presented. Angular dependent x-ray spectra are first calculated with a hybrid particle-in-cell code, Large Scale Plasma (LSP), using fast electron parameters inferred from an analysis of measured bremsstrahlung signals. Subsequently, a calculated x-ray spectrum in the direction of radiography is used in photon transport calculations using a Monte Carlo code, Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS), to simulate a radiographic image includingmore »« less
