Although laser produced plasma has been expected as a bright and short pulse X-ray source, the conversion efficiency from driving laser pulse energy to WW radiation is far below 1%, which hinders the realization of a compact and low-cost X-ray microscope. Recently, it was found that the WW radiation increased, when an Au target was irradiated by the GEKKO XII laser (1053 nm, 500 ps, 120 J) under low-pressure nitrogen atmospheres up to 400 Pa. However, the fact that the laser facility is huge and its repetition rate is very low makes it impossible to apply this X-ray source to the microscope. In order to realize the practical microscope capable of reducing size and cost, The bright X rays generated with a joule class pulsed laser with a high repetition rate is essential. Therefore, under N2 atmospheres we measured the WW spectra emitted from Au plasma generated with a commercial nanosecond laser with a low-output energy and 10Hz-repwtition., 2nd Asia-Pacific Conference on Plasma Physics (AAPPS-DPP2018)}, title = {Anomalous enhancement of water window X-rays emitted from laser produced Au plasma under low-pressure nitrogen atmosphere}, year = {2018} }
