Le rendement de conversion d'énergie de la cible solide de carbone interagissant avec un laser ultra-court et ultra-puissant pour générer des rayons X mous est élevé, et les rayons X mous générés ont une luminosité élevée, une largeur d'impulsion courte et une bonne cohérence, ce qui facilite l'application des rayons X mous en imagerie dans la fenêtre de l'eau et en imagerie dans la fenêtre du carbone. La présente invention concerne en outre un procédé de génération de rayons X mous au moyen d'un mécanisme d'accélération laser-plasma.
