PURPOSE:To perform induced emission of X rays whose wavelength and direc tion are similar to those of incident X rays so that X-ray output of high bright ness can be obtained by disposing plural pairs of other electrodes for X-ray generation on an optical path of X rays generated between a pair of electrodes. CONSTITUTION:Electrodes 6a and 6b are jointed with a terminal plate 8, and electrodes 7a, 7b, and 4 are jointed with an terminal electrode 9, and one end of the electrode 3 and a terminal plate 8 are jointed with a capacitor 2. X rays are generated as follows: electric charges in the capacitor 2 charged by a high-voltage source 1 are discharged between electrodes 3 and 4, 6a and 7a, 6b and 7b by an operation of a trigger electrode 5. Thus, discharging plasma is formed between respective electrodes, and atoms in the plasma become excited. Part of X rays generated from spot plasma formed between the electrodes 3 and 4 become X rays incident to spaces between 6a and 7a, 6b and 7b, and induce a phenomenon of induced emission, so that respective X rays 11a and 11b are generated in the same direction as the incident X rays. |
