Description

Laser irradiation solid-cone target produces the device of X ray
Technical field
The present invention is a kind of device that utilizes laser irradiation to produce X ray.
Background technology
Laser and solid interact the x-ray source that produces because its cost is low, pulsewidth is short, brightness is high, accurate unipotency is good, be convenient to load the characteristics such as synchronous that realize with laser; Aspect the dynamic changing process of diagnosis pressurized material internal microstructure and the ultrafast process in the hot close material, have huge prospect, but how to increase x-ray source brightness, to reduce dimension of light source, improve the light source signal to noise ratio be current research emphasis to strengthen its diagnosis capability.
The scheme that generally adopts at present is (to consult document " Optimized K α x-ray flashes from femtosecond-laser-irradiatedfoils ", PHYSICAL REVIEW E80,026404 through laser irradiation surface foil target; 2009); Laser forms plasma with plane foil target surface atom ionization rapidly, and plasma and laser interaction produce high energy electron, and these high energy electrons make its inner-shell ionization produce the hole with the target atom collision in the process of target internal motion; Thereby give off X ray; Comprise K α, characteristic X-ray radiation such as K β, its wavelength is by the hypostracum energy level difference decision of atom.Except the characteristic X-ray radiation, high energy electron also can produce bremsstrahlung with the target atom collision.Because bremsstrahlung is a continuous spectrum, when carrying out the diagnostic test that the X ray unipotency is had relatively high expectations (for example X-ray diffraction),, need to reduce the noise that bremsstrahlung brings to diagnosing characteristic X-ray radiation such as K α usefully, K β.
The factor of two aspects is depended in the brightness of Laser Driven X-radiation, the one, and the gross energy of incident laser, the 2nd, laser energy is converted into the transformation efficiency of X-radiation.Because the size of dimension of light source is decided by the size of laser focal spot, under the prerequisite that does not increase the dimension of light source size, increases the laser gross energy and be equivalent to the raising laser power density.Therefore, in order to improve the brightness of Laser Driven x-ray source, need improve laser-X ray transformation efficiency and incident laser power density simultaneously.
When adopting the plane foil target; Target material is dropped to minimum to the absorption of X ray when making that electron energy obtains the most effectively utilizing; Have that optimal laser power density and corresponding best target are thick (consults document " Yield Optimization and Time Structure of Femtosecond LaserPlasma K α Sources " PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 84; 4846,2000).When laser power density the time greater than optimum power intensity; The brightness of X-radiation is along with the increase of laser power density reduces on the contrary; Thereby make the brightness of X ray have a bottleneck; Be difficult to further raising (consulting document " Comparison of experimental and simulated K α yieldfor 400nm ultrashort pulse laser irradiation " PHYSICAL REVIEW E74,027401,2006).In order to improve the brightness of X ray, just need to break through this bottleneck, make optimal laser power density be improved.
In addition, another problem of plane foil target is that transformation efficiency is not high enough.The transformation efficiency that laser energy changes into X-radiation determines by two aspects, the one, in the plasma Electron absorption laser can the energy-absorbing coefficient, the 2nd, electronic kinetic energy changes into the efficient of X-radiation (useful characteristic X-ray).The energy-absorbing coefficient of electronics is by the decision of incident laser condition and target surfaces characteristic, can be through control laser prepulsing, increase the target material surface roughness even do mode such as various micro-structural processing on the target surface energy-absorbing coefficient is improved.Yet,, also have only quite limited high energy electron energy to change into X-radiation even plasma has absorbed all laser energies.When adopting the plane foil target,, tend to adopt thick target in order the most effectively to utilize high energy electron; And be to reduce the absorption of target material to X ray, then be partial to thin target.This two contradiction causes being difficult to the maximized X-radiation that changes into of electron energy.In order to improve the brightness of X ray, need to adopt can the more efficient use laser energy design, make laser-X ray transformation efficiency be improved.
The plane foil target also have a problem be X-radiation mainly concentrate on before the target with the target rear to, normal direction has maximum.Again since target before bremsstrahlung stronger, signal to noise ratio is not high, thus diagnostic mainly be the X ray of surface emissivity behind the target.This makes the restriction that receives spatial placement in the experiment only conveniently draw a beam X-ray and diagnoses.If can improve X-radiation space angle scope, then be hopeful to draw simultaneously the multi beam X ray and diagnose, improve diagnosis efficiency and ability greatly.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the difficulty of existing Laser Driven X-radiation implementation; A kind of design that can improve optimal laser power density and laser-X ray transformation efficiency simultaneously is provided; And increase X-radiation space angle scope, make that X-radiation brightness is enhanced, diagnosis efficiency and ability be improved.
Basic ideas of the present invention are: adopt the solid-cone target to replace the plane foil target; Make the transmission range of electronics obtain prolonging; And the transmission range of X ray the solid-cone target that goes out from the surface emissivity of solid-cone target dwindled greatly, thereby makes laser-X ray transformation efficiency and optimal laser power density all be improved.
Concrete technical scheme of the present invention is:
A kind of laser irradiation solid-cone target produces the device of X ray, comprises laser, vacuum chamber, is located on the vacuum chamber and the driving laser that matches with laser inlet, is loaded on the target assembly in the vacuum chamber and receives the device of X ray, it is characterized in that:
Target assembly is by solid-cone target and fixing being configured to of solid-cone target, and solid-cone target awl bottom surface is positioned near the driving laser inlet side, and solid-cone target awl point is positioned near device one side that receives X ray.
Further scheme is: between driving laser inlet and target assembly, focus lamp is housed.
Further scheme is: can pass through X-ray detector (for example CCD or X ray photographic film) and directly receive from the X ray of awl target emanation.
Further scheme is: the device that receives X ray is a sample cavity.
Further scheme is: in the sharp direction of awl pin hole is set, to obtain the little X ray point source of the angle of divergence, is used for diagnosing the sample of sample cavity.
Further scheme is: utilize the bent crystal that X-radiation is carried out menu and turns to, improving the monochromaticjty of X ray, and X ray is used for diagnosing the sample of sample cavity.
Further scheme is: diagnose same sample with multi beam X ray (X ray that for example utilizes the pin hole and the bent crystal to obtain simultaneously), through regulating X ray light path control diagnosis sequential.
The present invention utilizes laser irradiation solid-cone target bottom surface; The high energy electron that bottom surface plasma and laser interaction produce has long transmission range along the axis of cone (center line of solid-cone target) direction; And want much little relatively from the distance that the X ray that poppet surface radiates transmits target, thereby the loss of X ray is reduced.Therefore adopt the solid-cone target to avoid that the increase of the electronic transmission degree of depth causes the problem that the X ray loss increases in the foil target of plane, make the energy of high energy electron be used more effectively, can improve laser-X ray transformation efficiency and optimized electronic temperature.And electron temperature is by the decision of incident laser power density, so adopt the solid-cone target can improve optimal laser power density.Therefore, the solid-cone target can overcome the difficulty of plane foil target, can obtain the higher characteristic X-ray radiation of brightness.
In the axis of cone direction pin hole is set, it is little to obtain the angle of divergence, and brightness is high, the X-radiation that dimension of light source is little, experiments such as imaging of convenient realization low-angle and scattering.Near the characteristic radiation that this part X ray causes when being penetrated into the poppet surface from high energy electron and since penetration of electrons during to the surface kinetic energy greatly reduce, so bremsstrahlung at this moment is reduced, thereby the unipotency of X ray is better.
Because the X-radiation scope that Laser Driven solid-cone target produces is greater than the plane foil target; X ray intensity is about axis of cone symmetry; And brightness is high; Therefore conveniently draw the multi beam X ray on every side and repeatedly diagnose, can also utilize the bent crystal to make the X ray beam steering, and utilize optical path difference to regulate the physical process that sequential can be used for the multi beam X ray to diagnose sample synchronization diverse location, different diverse location constantly or difference moment same positions from cone.
Advantage of the present invention is:
1, adopts the solid-cone target to make optimal laser power density and laser-X ray transformation efficiency all be improved significantly, thereby make the total brightness of X-radiation improve 10 times at least.
2, can obtain small size, the X-radiation of small divergence angle in the sharp direction of awl.
3, the X-radiation scope that adopts the acquisition of solid-cone target is conveniently drawn the multi beam X ray and is repeatedly diagnosed greater than the plane foil target.
