Abstract
We developed a kind of soft x-ray double frequency grating shearing interferometry to diagnose hot dense plasma electron density. The method is very suitable for the measure on high-Z material plasma near critical surface, because of its special advantages of suppression of plasma radiation noise and responding to density dispersion. Experiments on diagnosing a series of plasma, such as plasma of Au foil target, plasma inside a tube, collision plasma between different material, were carried out with this method. The experiments acquired good interference pattern images. The high quality images well proved the method was stable and practical.
