Abstract

The radiation from plasmas produced by the interaction of a pulsed laser and a solid target can be made to fall in the soft x-ray regime. The x-rays can serve as an alternative to the increasingly important synchrotron radiation facilities for a variety of techniques such as Extended X-ray Absorption Fine-Structure Spectroscopy and X-ray Lithography. In addition, the x-rays are of special interest for general microradiography of thin samples.
