DEF

A device that uses the principle of amplification by stimulated emission of radiation to produce an intense beam of coherent x-rays.

También se ha producido un gran progreso en el desarrollo de láseres de rayos X y de plasmas emisores de rayos X, que son capaces de producir pulsos de rayos X de intensidad suficiente como para formar una imagen en un nanosegundo o menos.

CONT

La coherencia de la radiación del láser de rayos X varía con el equipo que la genera, pero habitualmente es menor que la de los láseres de radiación visible.
