被引用回数:3 パーセンタイル:18.38(Optics)X ray radiation as high as 50 KeV, including K-shell spectra of Ba, have been observed during the interaction of low energy 0.65 mJ, 1 kHz femtosecond laser pulses focused on the solid target in air of atmospheric pressure. Possible mechanism of such generation by energetic electrons produced when the field strength in laser pulse wake exceeds the runaway threshold in air is considered. Multidimensional particle-in-cell simulations including optical field ionization of air confirm this mechanism.

The energy of the directed motion of multiply charged ions produced when solid targets are exposed by low-contrast femtosecond laser pulses with low intensities. The measurements are based on the recording of spatially resolved X-ray spectra for H- and He-like Oxygen ions in the target plane. Analysis of the He- and H-like ions line profiles has revealed fractions of accelerated ions in plasma with energies from several to several tens of kiloelectron volts. We show that using a layer of frozen nanometer-size water droplets as the targets leads to an effective absorption of laser pulses and a twofold rise in the energy (to 0.1 MeV) of He-like oxygen ions compared to the use of solid targets.
