More Information
Summary:An X-ray laser apparatus 100 for generating X-rays 1 comprises an excitation laser device 10 arranged to generate driving laser pulses 2, and a converter material source device 20 arranged to provide a droplet-shaped converter material, which is capable of generating X-rays 1 by nonlinear frequency conversion in response to an irradiation with the driving laser pulses 2, wherein the excitation laser device 10 is arranged for a focused irradiation of the droplet-shaped converter material and the converter material source device 20 is configured to provide superfluid Helium droplets 3, which provide the converter material. Furthermore, a method for generating X-rays 1 is described, wherein superfluid Helium droplets 3 are utilized as a converter material.
