All-optical Betatron and Compton x-ray sources and application to phase contrast imaging
Résumé
Bright femtosecond x-ray beams, with energies up to a few hundreds of keV, have been produced from Betatron oscillations and Compton scattering in a laser-plasma accelerator. The potential of Betatron radiation for phase contrast imaging has been demonstrated. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
