High brightness keV harmonics from relativistically oscillating plasma surfaces

High brightness keV harmonics from relativistically oscillating plasma surfaces

X-ray harmonic radiation extending to 3.3 Å, 3.8 keV from Petawatt class laser-solid interactions is presented. The harmonic spectra display a relativistic limit scaling up to ∼3000th order, above which an intensity dependent scaling roll-over is observed. Highly directional beamed emission for harm...
