Abstract
We have developed and used a soft x-ray Michelson interferometer to probe l arge laser-produced plasmas. The aim investigated is to obtain electron den sity profiles and thus important informations on the plasma dynamic. This p aper describes our design and presents some preliminary results using a nic kel-like x-ray laser operating at 13.9 nm. Wewill present numericals result s which show the interest of using x-ray laser to probe laser-produced plas ma by interferometry.
