X-rays are generated by pulse UV laser (266 nm) irradiation on a LiNbO3 crystal. The electrons produced from the LiNbO3 collide with a Cu target in vacuum, generating X-ray. The X-ray source requires no external voltage. The novel X-ray generation method offers safer radiotherapy than a conventional X-ray source.
