Abstract
Gold transmission gratings with 0.3 um spatial period, 0.6 μm thick have been fabricated, and are being used for the spectroscopy of high temperature, laser produced plasmas. A transmission grating has been coupled with a soft x-ray streak camera, producing the first time resolved (20 psec resolution) continuous x-ray spectrum over the range 0.1-1.5 keV from a laser produced plasma. In audition, a transmission grating has been coupled with a high resolution, Winter-design x-ray microscope to produce an imaging spectrometer of unprecedented spatial and spectral resolution. In laboratory experiments the imaging spectrometer demonstrated a spectral resolving power, λ of 200 and a spacial resolution of 1 μm.
