Streaked, X-ray-transmission-grating spectrometer
Abstract
A free standing X-ray transmission grating coupled with a soft X-ray streak camera to produce a time resolved X-ray spectrometer is described. The instrument has a temporal resolution of approximately 20 psec, is capable of covering a broad spectral range, 2 to 120 A, has high sensitivity, and is simple to use requiring no complex alignment procedure. In recent laser fusion experiments the spectrometer successfully recorded time resolved spectra over the range 10 to 120 A with a spectral resolving power (lambda/delta of 4 to 50) limited primarily by source size and collimation effects.
