X-ray generation by relativistic laser-accelerated electrons

Laser-wakefield-accelerated electrons were used to drive an all-optical undulator source, a 5-keV betatron X-ray source and a tunable quasi-monochromatic Compton-X-ray source. Also, we present a phase-contrast tomogram of a fly obtained with the betatron beam.
