The interaction of high-intensity, focused, nanosecond laser light with matter results in the production of high-temperature plasma, which in turn emits an intense pulse of x rays. The x-ray spectrum consists of strong line components of several keV photon energy and broad continuum. Such an x-ray source provides many advantages over conventional ones for many applications. Pulse nature of the x-ray emission is well-suited for studying transient phenomena and for imaging living biological specimen. Recent experiments have also shown that the laser plasma x ray may be used for x ray lithography. These studies and other applications will be discussed in detail.

This study describes the conceptual design of a soft x-ray microscope system based on a laserbased source for biomedical application with high resolution (${\leq}$50nm). The laboratory scale soft x-ray microscope consists of high power laser plasma x-ray source and grazing incidence mirrors with high reflectivity. The laser plasma source used for developing this system employs Q-switched Nd-YAG pulsed laser. The laser beam is focused on a tantalum (Ta) target. The Wolter type I mirror was used as condenser optics for sample illumination and as objective mirror for focusing on a detector. The fabrication of the Wolter type I mirror was direct internal cutting using ultraprecision DTM. A hydrated biological specimen was put between the two silicon wafers, the center of which was $Si_3N_4$ windows of 100㎚ thickness. The main issues in the future development work are to make a stable, reliable and reproducible x-ray microscope system.

본 연구는 디지털 단층영상합성장치에서 재구성 필터, X-선원 이동궤적 및 이동간격이 화질에 미치는 영향을 평가하고 임상적 검증을 수행하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 필터링후역투영법 재구성 시 Ramp, Shepp-Logan, Cosine, Hamming, Hann 및 Blackman 필터를 사용하였고, X-선원 이동궤적의 변화를 위해 1 × 36, 2 × 18, 3 × 12, 4 × 9 및 6 × 6 배열 형태의 이동궤적을 모사하였다. X-선원 이동간격에 따른 영향을 평가하기 위해 X-선원간 거리를 5, 10, 20, 30 및 40 mm로 변화시켰다. 재구성 영상의 깊이분해능, 공간분해능 및 잡음을 평가하기 위해 인공물확산함수, 반치폭 및 신호대잡음비를 측정하였다. 연구결과 Ramp 및 Blackman 필터를 사용하였을 때 각각 공간분해능 및 잡음 특성이 최대화 되었으며, X-선원 이동궤적의 형태가 1 × 36일 때 깊이분해능과 잡음 특성이 가장 우수하였다. 또한 X-선원 이동간격이 증가함에 따라 깊이분해능 및 잡음 특성은 향상되었고, 공간분해능은 저하되었다. 따라서 디지털 단층영상합성장치를 통한 3차원 영상획득 시 재구성 필터, X-선원 이동궤적 및 이동간격이 화질에 미치는 영향은 각기 다르며, 진단 목적에 부합하는 조건 설정이 필요하다.

In this research we report the significant contribution of the as-spun multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on the x-ray images formation using a low tube voltage x-ray source. The MWCNT, which was used for the fabrication of the spun CNT, was grown using a microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition machine. Electrical-optics simulation software was utilized to determine the electron field emission trajectory of the triode-structure-as-spun CNT-based x-ray source. It was shown that a significant amount of converging electrons hit the target anode producing a clear x-ray image. These x-ray images where produced at a small amount of anode current of 0.67 mA at a tube voltage of 5 kV with the gate voltage of 0 V. Also, comparisons of the radiographs at various exposure times of the sample where analyzed with and without an x-ray dose filter. Results showed that spatially-resolved images were formed using the as-spun CNT at a low tube voltage with a $54-{\mu}m$ Al x-ray filter. This study can be used for low-voltage medical applications.

A diagnostic fluoroscopy X-ray system uses a 32kW or greater X-ray generator for obtaining real-time moving images and high-resolution images. Fluoroscopy X-ray systems have to use a high-capacity AC power source to perform long-time low-power fluoroscopy and short-time high-power spot exposure. In this paper, we propose a hybrid type X-ray generator for fluoroscopy X-ray system which can perform fluoroscopy and spot exposure with a low-capacity AC power source and an energy storage device. The characteristics of energy storage devices are compared and each energy storage device is modelled to equivalent circuit. And the characteristics of available energy are analyzed as a function of output voltage and power. A 32kW class hybrid X-ray generator with EDLC as an energy storage device for fluoroscopy X-ray system was constructed, and its validity was verified by means of simulations and experiments.

Background: Industrial X-ray CT system is normally applied to non-destructive testing (NDT) for industrial product made from metal. Furthermore there are some special CT systems, which have an ability to inspect nuclear fuel assemblies or rocket motors, using high power and high energy (more than 6 MeV) pulsed X-ray source. In these case, pulsed X-ray are produced by the electron linear accelerator, and a huge number of photons with a wide energy spectrum are produced within a very short period. Consequently, it is difficult to measure the X-ray energy spectrum for such accelerator-based X-ray sources using simple spectrometry. Due to this difficulty, unexpected images and artifacts which lead to incorrect density information and dimensions of specimens cannot be avoided in CT images. For getting highly precise CT images, it is important to know the precise energy spectrum of emitted X-rays. Materials and Methods: In order to realize it we investigated a new approach utilizing the Bayesian estimation method combined with an attenuation curve measurement using step shaped attenuation material. This method was validated by precise measurement of energy spectrum from a 1 MeV electron accelerator. In this study, to extend the applicable X-ray energy range we tried to measure energy spectra of X-ray sources from 6 and 9 MeV linear accelerators by using the recently developed method. Results and Discussion: In this study, an attenuation curves are measured by using a step-shaped attenuation materials of aluminum and steel individually, and the each X-ray spectrum is reconstructed from the measured attenuation curve by the spectrum type Bayesian estimation method. Conclusion: The obtained result shows good agreement with simulated spectra, and the presently developed technique is adaptable for high energy X-ray source more than 6 MeV.

A new approach on the correction for Compton escape component in X-ray unfolding algorithm was investigated to obtain more accurate X-ray source spectrum. The X-ray detector used in this study was a planar type HPGe detector(EG&G ORTEC, GLP-32340/13-P-LP) whose energy response has been blown and ISO narrow beam series were employed as source spectrum. At lower energy Part of measured X-ray spectrum including the correction for Compton escape component more accurate unfolded spectrum was obtained by letting down the starting energy level of the collection in existing spectrum correction procedure to consider multiple scattering effects. It is, from this study, concluded that accurate correction for Compton escape component is needed in X-ray unfolding procedure since Compton scattering becomes more important as incident X-ray energies increase.

In this paper, a new approach to acquire the cross-sentional image for automatic solder joint inspection of double-sided PCB using X-ray source is presented. We designed the apparatus with fixed X-ray source to realize the cross-sectional image by tunning object and detector synchronously. The cross-sectional images are captured at several view angle of X-ray source, the geometric image distortions caused by view angle and the shape of image intensifier are compensated. The precision variation of cross-sectional image by the change of view angle was investigated. Also we acquired the cross-sectional image to the solder joint of double-sided PCB and reconstructed the shape of solder joint.

At Rutherford Appleton Laboratory(RAL), a high-repetition rate ps exicmer laser-plasma x-ray source has been developed for x-ray lithography with a calibrated output of up to 1 watt X-ray average power at 1nm wavelength. In a previous reports this compact x-ray source was used to print 0.18$\mu$m lines for a gate on Si-FET devices and deep three-dimensional structure with 100$\mu$m length, 25$\mu$m width, and 48 $\mu$m depth for a nanotechnology. The deep X-ray lithography is called as LIGA thchnology and getting a wide interest as a new technology for a nano-device. In this report all this works are summarized.
