Abstract

The invention relates to an X-ray source (100) by interaction between a focused laser pulse beam (40) and a target material. According to the invention, the X-ray source (100) comprises a resurfacing device (20), a first laser source (30) capable of emitting said laser pulse beam along a first optical axis, the target material (10) being movable along at least one degree of freedom, the surface of the target material being adapted to receive the focused laser pulse beam and to generate X-rays, the focused laser pulse beam locally inducing an ablation crater (45) in an area of ​​the surface of the target material, the resurfacing device being configured to resurface the area of ​​the surface of the target material ablated by the laser pulse beam.
