Abstract

To date, much effort has been expended in attempts to develop an efficient coherent x-ray source suitable for high-resolution biological imaging. This article reports the production of prompt x-rays with energies in excess of 5 keV with efficiencies of the order of 1% as a result of intense irradiation of BaF2 and Gd targets with a terawatt 248 nm laser.
