Record 1 2024-01-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Lasers and Masers
  • Atomic Physics
DEF

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

CONT

This type of laser has wavelengths that are shorter and of higher frequency than the chemical laser of the first-generation system, and it is thus much brighter and more powerful.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Masers et lasers
  • Physique atomique

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Láser y máser
  • Física atómica
CONT

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.
