SYLX 1: Symposium Laser Driven X-Rays: Generation and Application
SYLX 1.4: Invited Talk
Friday, March 6, 2026, 16:00–16:30, RW 1
Laser-driven X-ray generation for industrial applications — •Johannes Maximilian Ebert, Klaus Bergmann, Sarah Klein, Martin Traub, Jochen Vieker, Stephan Herman Wissenberg, and Hans-Dieter Hoffmann — Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, Steinbachstr. 15, 52074 Aachen, Germany
Novel applications demand X-ray sources with high photon flux at higher brilliance than conventional electron-beam-driven X-ray sources can provide. Laser-driven sources are regarded as the next step, offering high spectral brilliance through narrowband Kα-line emission and highly energetic Bremsstrahlung.
The talk will focus on results from consortia projects regarding optics layout and system architecture of laser-driven hard X-ray sources and applications. In these projects, several interrelated topics are being considered, such as:
- Light-matter interaction, X-ray generation
- Beam delivery, high-NA focusing to intensities >1018 W/cm2
- Regenerative target technology
- Debris mitigation for protection of optics
- Radiation safety, particularly for the high energetic tail of Bremsstrahlung
