Abstract

We present a further improvement of our experimental system for the generation of hard x-ray pulses in the range 1-10 ps, A laser system based on a cw mode locked Nd:YLF laser is utilized for the emission of deep UV pulses at 193 nm with duration 1.5 ps and repetition rate of 300 Hz, This UV radiation is used to pump an x-ray diode which produces CuKa x-ray pulses with a duration shorter than 10 ps at 300 Hz.
