Abstract

Ultrashort laser-matter processing can potentially lead to hazardous X-ray emission. Starting with an overview on secondary sources, we study the dose rate and spectral emission with respect to different laser parameters available in ultrafast laboratories and for industrial laser systems. Our results indicate that annual irradiation limits are easily exceeded.
