Ultra-short pulses and high laser intensities are used in a variety of laser-matter applications in laboratories and industry. Such processes can lead to unwanted generation of X-rays, which are a dangerous radiation factor [1]. We present an analysis of the radiation dose rate and the emitted X-ray spectrum during ablation of a rotating copper cylinder as a function of different laser parameters [2]. Furthermore, we studied the X-ray emission from commonly used metals, alloys and ceramics for ultrafast laser processing [3]. The results show that focused sub-picosecond pulses with intensity higher than 1013 W/cm2 can exceed the annual irradiation limit even in one hour, making adequate shielding a necessity for researchers’ safety.
