Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the laser absorbing efficiency and to improve the X-ray generating efficiency, by making the target material of carbon, or covering the target material with carbon or an organic high polymer, in a laser plasma X-ray source. CONSTITUTION:Lasers 2 are radiated on a carbon 5 as a target, and X-rays 6 are radiated from an X-ray permeating window 7 by a pinch phenomenon. By using a carbon as a target material in a laser plasma X-ray source like this, the light reflection of the carbon and the carbon plasma is reduced, and the light absorption of them is increased. As a result, the x-rays of the wave length 10 to 100 Angstrom are generated at the efficiency 20 % or more, while the X-rays of the wave length 1 to 10 Angstrom are generated at the efficiency about 10 % in the conventional aluminum target condition. Furthermore, by using the aluminum target with the surface covered with an organic high polymer such as polyethylene, or a carbon film, the X-rays of the wave length 1 to 100 Angstrom are generated also at the efficiency 20 % or more.
