Abstract

The X-ray emission from an ultrashort-pulse laser incident on a solid aluminum and a layered aluminum /silicon slab is investigated with a non-LTE radiation-hydrodynamics model coupled to a Helmholtz wave equation for P-wave polarization. A fraction of the absorbed energy is expended in the production of fast electrons, which are transported and deposited in the cold material. These electrons create K-shell vacancies that produce characteristic Kα line radiation. A time history of the emission spectra, including the Kα lines and continuum radiation, is presented for a laser intensity of 1017 W/cm2.
