The application of x-ray sources to imaging of dense objects is standard technique. The quality of the x-ray image depends both on the x-ray source wavelength and on the flux. To improve the flux of the x-ray source it is important to understand how the conversion efficiency scales with laser irradiance and target material. We present measurements of x-ray conversion efficiency in sold Cr, Fe, Ni Zn and Ge targets as s function of the laser irradiance using the OMEGA laser facility. The results show a steep decease in the conversion efficiency with increasing Z while the scaling of conversion efficiency with laser irradiance can show a peak. Values for x-ray yield are determined using time-integrated crystal spectrometer data.
