X-ray plenoptic cameras acquire multi-view X-ray transmission images in a single exposure (light-field). Their development is challenging: designs have appeared only recently, and they are still affected by important limitations. Concurrently, the lack of available real X-ray light-field data hinders dedicated algorithmic development. Here, we present a physical emulation setup for rapidly exploring the parameter space of both existing and conceptual camera designs. This will assist and accelerate the design of X-ray plenoptic imaging solutions, and provide a tool for generating unlimited real X-ray plenoptic data. We also demonstrate that X-ray light-fields allow for reconstructing sharp spatial structures in three-dimensions (3D) from single-shot data.

AbstractWe present a novel method to reconstruct multispectral images of flat objects from spectrally coded light fields as taken by an unfocused light field camera with a spectrally coded microlens array. In this sense, the spectrally coded light field camera is used as a multispectral snapshot imager, acquiring a multispectral datacube in a single exposure. The multispectral image, corresponding to the light field’s central view, is reconstructed by shifting the spectrally coded subapertures onto the central view according to their respective disparity. We assume that the disparity of the scene is approximately constant and non-zero. Since the spectral mask is identical for all subapertures, the missing spectral data of the central view will be filled up from the shifted spectrally coded subapertures. We investigate the reconstruction quality for different spectral masks and camera parameter sets optimized for real life applications such as in-line production monitoring for which the constant disparity constraint naturally holds. For synthesized reference scenes, using 16 color channels, we achieve a reconstruction \mathrm{PSNR} of up to 51 dB.

Several choices exist in the design and production of capsules intended to ignite and propagate fusion burn of the deuterium–tritium (D–T) fuel when imploded by indirect drive at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). These choices include ablator material, ablator dopant concentration and distribution, capsule dimensions, and X-ray drive profile (shock timings and strengths). The choice of ablator material must also include fabrication and material characteristics, such as attainable surface finishes, permeability, strength, transparency to radio frequency and infrared radiation, thermal conductivity, and material homogeneity. Understanding the advantages and/or limitations of these choices is an ongoing effort for LLNL and LANL designers. At this time, simulations in one-, two-, and three-dimensions show that capsules with either a copper-doped beryllium or a polyimide (C22H10N2O4) ablator material have both the least sensitivity to initial surface roughnesses and favorable fabrication qualities. Simulations also indicate the existence of capsule designs based on these ablator materials which ignite and burn when imploded by less than nominal laser performance (900-kJ energy, 250-TW power, producing 250-eV peak radiation temperature). We will describe and compare these reduced-scale capsules, in addition to several designs which use the expected 300-eV peak X-ray drive obtained from operating the NIF laser at 1.3 MJ and 500 TW.
