Extreme ultraviolet tomography using a compact laser-plasma source for 3D reconstruction of low density objects

Opt Lett. 2014 Feb 1;39(3):532-5. doi: 10.1364/OL.39.000532.

Abstract

A tomographic method for three-dimensional reconstruction of low density objects is presented and discussed. The experiment was performed in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectral region using a desktop system for enhanced optical contrast and employing a compact laser-plasma EUV source, based on a double stream gas puff target. The system allows for volume reconstruction of transient gaseous objects, in this case gas jets, providing additional information for further characterization and optimization. Experimental details and reconstruction results are shown.
