AbstractIntense x-rays are emitted by plasmas formed when sub-nanosecond laser pulses are focused onto materials, Plasmas produced by pulses containing up to 100 J can re-emit over ten percent of the energy as x-rays above about 1.0 keV. These plasmas may be useful flash x-ray sources.

AbstractMeasurements of x-rays emitted by hot plasmas provide a powerful diagnostic method of determining important plasma parameters and suggest certain types of plasmas as possibly useful x-ray sources. Instrumentation to accomplish these measurements for various types of plasmas are reviewed. State-of-the-art x-ray spectrometers, calorimeters, and source-imaging devices, designed especially for plasmas generated by focused, nanosecond laser pulses are described. Possibilities of time-resolved measurements on such short-lived plasmas are discussed.

The microstructure of a thin subsurface layer of VT1-0 titanium alloy samples in the initial submicrocrystalline state after exposure to nanosecond laser pulses has been studied using scanning and transmission electron microscopy (with the possibility of X-ray microanalysis).

Laser interference micro-structuring is a relatively efficient and cost-effective technique for fabricating periodical micro-nano-structuring surfaces. The direct fabrication of sub-micron sized dot array on silicon was performed by four interfering nanosecond laser beams with a diffractive beam splitter. The mechanism to form the dot array was analyzed and it was found that the obtained conical dot array had a negative shape of the interference pattern of four laser beams. A second-order peak between two first-order peaks also occurred due to the liquid-solid expansion.
