Description

A computed tomographic (CT) technique has been developed to diagnose laser-irradiated spherical targets using x-ray emissions. The three-dimensional (3-D) x-ray distribution was reconstructed by using an algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) from x-ray pinhole camera images obtained along different sight directions. 3-D distributions of electron temperature and density were measured by use of an absorption filter technique. Time-resolved 3-D x-ray emission images from an imploding hollow shell target were reconstructed with less than 100 ps temporal resolution by using x-ray multiframing cameras
