A1 Pérez Callejo, Gabriel K1 Física K1 Óptica AB 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 energy density (HED) physics. Initially developed with synchrotron light and X-ray tubes, we present a novel grating based Talbot X-ray deflectometer (TXD) diagnostic that was coupled with laser-generated K-α X-ray sources. The multi-terawatt laser (I > 1 × 1014 W cm-2) was used as a testbed for diagnostic development. It was found that X-ray source chromaticity plays an important role in TXD. Indeed, the broadband spectrum of laser-generated X-ray sources may strongly impact image quality and thus diagnostic performance. We qualified X-ray emission from different laser-produced sources and determined laser, target, and deflectometer parameters that optimize TXD performance. We present the first results of referenceless grating-based X-ray imaging at high-power laser facilities and discuss the implications of this new development in HED research.
