Abstract;Resonant Transition Radiation(RTR) is one the candidates for compact and tunable light sources in the region from VUV to X-ray. However, the single-mode RTR, which provides a fine tunability, has not been observed because of the difficulty of manufacturing stacked targets with narrow spacings. In this work, by using a multilayer target with submicrometer period, X-rays of single-mode RTR were generated and measured successfully. The measured X-ray spectra agree well with the theoretical estimations. This success in generating single-mode RTR shows a promising feasibility of RTR as a next-generation compact X-ray source.
