Article Abstract
A high-resolution x-ray spectrometer was coupled with an ultrafast x-ray streak camera to produce time-resolved line shape spectra measured from hot, solid-density plasmas. A Bragg crystal was placed near laser-produced plasma to maximize throughput; alignment tolerances were established by ray tracing. The streak camera produced single-shot, time-resolved spectra, heavily sloped due to photon time-of-flight differences, with sufficient reproducibility to accumulate photon statistics. The images are time-calibrated by the slope of streaked spectra and dewarped to generate spectra emitted at different times defined at the source. The streaked spectra demonstrate the evolution of spectral shoulders and other features on ps timescales, showing the feasibility of plasma parameter measurements on the rapid timescales necessary to study high-energy-density plasmas.

Acquiring sequentially time-resolved two-dimensional images with parallel multi-group sampling strategy.

A method of acquiring sequentially time-resolved two-dimensional images with parallel multi-group sampling strategy has been developed. In this technique, the two-dimensional image was sampled and transferred by a fiber bundle, the fibers of which were arranged in two-dimensional arrays in the input end and rearranged in four one dimensional lines in the output end. The output four groups of one-dimensional images were parallelly detected by a streak camera.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how the structure and dynamics of electrolyte solutions affect ionic conductivity by measuring conductivity, viscosity, and dielectric relaxation in lithium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide (LiTFSI) in triglyme.
- Findings revealed that conductivity (σ) and dielectric relaxation times (⟨τ⟩) are somewhat independent of viscosity (η) and follow specific proportional relationships.
- Additionally, Raman spectroscopy showed ion pair formation and an increase in glass transition temperature with LiTFSI concentration, highlighting interesting dependencies of conductivity on solution properties that could inform battery applications.
Rain streaks pose a significant challenge to optical devices, impeding their ability to accurately recognize objects in images. To enhance the recognition capabilities of these devices, it is imperative to remove rain streaks from images prior to processing. While deep learning techniques have been adept at removing rain from the high-frequency components of images, they often neglect the low-frequency components, where residual rain streaks can persist.

The National Ignition Facility produced the first nuclear fusion experiment demonstrating net positive energy gain on December 5, 2022. The x-ray streak camera that measures the bang time and burn-width from this landmark experiment had an electronic failure and did not record data. The CCD sensor was replaced with a radiation hardened CMOS sensor that has since demonstrated successful operation on repeat ignition shots.
