Abstract:
X-ray imaging with a large field of view (FOV) and high resolution is extremely important for Rayleigh-Taylor instability measurement with a small amplitude and high spatial frequency in laser inertial confinement fusion. We developed an advanced Kirkpatrick-Baez (AKB) microscope based on the quadratic-aberration theory to realize a large FOV and high resolution. This microscope was assembled and tested in a laboratory, and it was then successfully applied for imaging the hydrodynamic instability of a perturbation target in implosion experiments at the Shenguang-III prototype laser facility. Imaging results demonstrate that the AKB microscope can achieve an optimal resolution of ~ 0.53 μm and ~ 0.40 μm and a spatial resolution of < 1.5 μm within a 300-µm FOV and < 4.5 μm in a 1-mm FOV.
