Abstract
The x-ray bremsstrahlung from 4 to 50 keV emitted by laser-produced plasmas has been measured using a Bragg crystal spectrometer. Direct spectral information was obtained in contrast to earlier filter spectroscopy. Measurements were made with focal spot powers of 1016 W/cm2 of 1.06-μm radiation and 1014 W/cm2 of 10.6-μm radiation. A definite suprathermal electron component was observed.Keywords
