本文综述了激光韦克菲尔德加速器作为下一代光源的应用前景。这项工作是在2013年激光等离子体加速器研讨会上讨论的结果。X射线相衬成像，X射线吸收光谱，和核共振荧光作为激光等离子体为基础的光源的潜在应用突出。我们讨论了正在进行的和未来的努力，以改善这些特定应用的激光韦克菲尔德加速器从等离子体电子感应加速器发射和康普顿散射的辐射特性。
In this article we review the prospects of laser wakefield accelerators as next generation light sources for applications. This work arose as a result of discussions held at the 2013 Laser Plasma Accelerators Workshop. X-ray phase contrast imaging, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, and nuclear resonance fluorescence are highlighted as potential applications for laser-plasma based light sources. We discuss ongoing and future efforts to improve the properties of radiation from plasma betatron emission and Compton scattering using laser wakefield accelerators for these specific applications.
