摘要: The spherical crystal imaging system, noted for its high energy spectral resolution (monochromaticity) and spatial resolution, is extensively applied in high energy density physics and inertial confinement fusion research. This system supports studies on fast electron transport, hydrodynamic instabilities, and implosion dynamics. The x-ray source, produced through laser-plasma interaction, emits a limited number of photons within short time scales, resulting in predominantly photon-starved images. Through ray-tracing simulations, we investigated the impact of varying crystal dimensions on the performance of a spherical crystal self-emission imager. We observed that increasing the crystal dimension leads to higher imaging efficiency but at the expense of monochromaticity, causing broader spectral acceptance and reduced spatial resolution. Furthermore, we presented a theoretical model to estimate the spatial resolution of the imaging system within a specific energy spectrum range, detailing the expressions for the effective size of the crystal. The spatial resolution derived from the model closely matches the numerical simulations.
