X-ray spectra from laser fusion targets are normally measured with flat crystal (nonfocusing) spectrographs. We describe here the characteristics of a focusing spectrograph which is capable of recording wide band spectra with significantly higher sensitivity. Measuring spectra in the (10-11) A range from glass microballoons imploded by a two-beam Nd:Glass laser system we find intensity per unit area on film about 100 times higher with a curved mica than with a flat mica spectrograph.
