Abstract

Here, we developed a high-resolution, dual-channel toroidal-crystal x-ray imager for time-framed x-ray backlit imaging diagnostics using the 4.727 keV helium-like Ti line. We also presented a method for adjusting the dual-channel imager through the self-imaging of a two-dimensional periodic object. Offline x-ray experiments achieved a spatial resolution of ∼5.0 μm in the center and better than 8.0 μm within a field of view (FOV) of ∼2 mm. At the ShenGuang-III prototype laser facility, we obtained imaging results with a spatial resolution of better than 5 μm within an FOV of ±40 µm. This imager thus provides a way of observing with high spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions to diagnose the behavior of laser-produced plasma.
