Abstract

We report a new method to enhance the X-ray emission from nano-cluster plasmas formed upon irradiation by intense femtosecond-duration laser pulses. Our experiments demonstrate that when Ar clusters are doped with H2O the time-integrated yield of Ar K X-ray emission is enhanced by approximately 12-fold in comparison to that obtained from pure Ar clusters under otherwise identical experimental conditions. A significant alteration in the time-dependent electron density is achieved by the presence of an H2O dopant, and this could be the possible reason for the enhancement that is observed.
