Rv. Volkov et al., GENERATION OF HARD X-RAY-RADIATION BY IRRADIATION OF POROUS SILICON WITH ULTRAINTENSE FEMTOSECOND LASER-PULSES, Quantum electronics, 28(1), 1998, pp. 1-2
Irradiation of a porous (with porosity in excess of 70%) silicon targe
t with femtosecond laser pulses of 10(16) W cm(-2) intensity increased
by a factor of 3.5 the efficiency of generation of hard x-ray radiati
on with photon energies E > 2.5 keV. The increase was 30-fold for E >
8 keV. The relationship between this effect and the parameters of the
luminescence emitted by porous silicon was investigated.
