Nowadays a large range of ultrashort-pulsed laser systems are able to reach intensities above 1013 W/cm2 and can easily ignite a plasma on a solid target-sample. The laser-induced plasma can be used as a source of incoherent X-ray radiation [1]. Here, by focusing ultrashort laser-pulses on a rotating metallic cylinder under vacuum conditions, measurements of the photon flux and the spectrum in the range of 2 keV to 20 keV with a calibrated detector Silix lambda are shown [2]. In addition, the interaction between different pulses and heat accumulations effects are able to change the plasma dynamics which can lead to an increase of the generated X-ray photon flux. In the presented work, double pulse and burst-mode like schemes are investigate in order to enhance the X-ray generation and manipulate the spectral emission.
