Description
X-ray sources driven by femtosecond lasers with high peak power provide compact alternatives to large-scale facilities such as synchrotrons and X-ray Free electron lasers. ELI Beamlines facility is devoted to providing various beamlines of laser-driven X-rays and accelerated particles to the user community [1]. While the X-rays sources driven by kHz lasers such as high-order harmonic beamline [2] and plasma X-ray sources [3] have entered the operation phase with regular experiments performed together with external users, the sources driven by PW-class L3 laser [4] are about to be commissioned soon.
In this contribution, I will provide a review of the technical implementation of the laser-driven X-ray sources and present selected results from recent application experiments.
