Diagnosing the evolution of laser-generated high energy density (HED) systems is
fundamental to develop a correct understanding of the behavior of matter under extreme …

Interferometry is one of the most sensitive and successful diagnostic methods for plasmas.
However, owing to the design of most common interferometric systems, the wavelengths of …

Talbot–Lau x-ray interferometry is a refraction-based diagnostic that can map electron
density gradients through phase-contrast methods. The Talbot–Lau x-ray deflectometry …

Talbot-Lau x-ray interferometry has been implemented to map electron density gradients in
High Energy Density Physics (HEDP) experiments. X-ray backlighter targets have been …

A single-shot x-ray phase-contrast imaging technique with short exposure time allows to
capture sharp images of fast dynamic processes despite low absorption contrast. We …

X-ray backlighters allow the capture of sharp images of fast dynamic processes due to
extremely short exposure times. Moiré imaging enables simultaneously measuring the …

Inside an optical Fourier processor, we inserted a varifocal system to continuously magnify
the frequency of a master grating. The proposed system does not involve any mechanical …

For controlling the visibility of the Lau patterns, we disclose the use of a zoom system that
implements a zero-throw, tunable magnification of the source grating. The zoom system …

We present the usage of two-layer targets with laser-illuminated front-side microstructures
for x-ray backlighter applications. The targets consisted of a silicon front layer and copper …

With its ability to efficiently probe low-Z materials, X-ray phase imaging methods have
recently raised high interest in multiple fields from biology and medical applications to high …
