Radiation sources
The activities proposed on APOLLON laser facility aim at extending the capabilities of the laser-induced radiation sources, currently emitting photons from typically 30 eV to tens of keV in beams of energy ranging from a few nJ to a few mJ and duration from a few tens of attoseconds to 10 nanoseconds.
Various approaches will be followed:
- plasma mirrors: high-order harmonics emission from solids,
- x-ray lasers: reaching shorter wavelengths and higher intensities, exploring new shemes such as inner-shell photo-pumping, breaking the ps duration barrier, etc,
- betatron radiation,
- and possibly flying mirrors.
