摘要
The generation of x rays from the interaction of low-energy (10-50 mJ) 120-ps KrF laser pulses with solid targets has been experimentally investigated. Conversion efficiency as a function of laser energy and detailed keV x-ray spectra have been obtained for targets (Fe, Ni, and Cu) with potential application in high-resolution x-ray lithography. Peak x-ray conversion efficiencies of over 3% in the 800-1400-eV photon energy band have been measured for laser intensities of 1.5 x 10(14) W/cm2. In addition, transmission grating spectra have been obtained to characterize the overall distribution of x-ray emission at photon energies down to 100 eV.
