Ni-like collisional lasers using moderate power laser drivers
Physics of Plasmas 1:8 (1994) 2801-2803
Abstract:
The hydrodynamic behavior of a Ta exploding foil using a double pulse in order to achieve favorable conditions for a Ni-like collisional x-ray laser with moderate driver energy have been examined in detail. It is shown that plasma conditions required for high gain lasing can be produced with ×4 reduced laser power as compared with Maxon's scheme [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 2285 (1993)], provided that the second pulse is correctly timed and is delivered before transparency of the target to the incident laser light. This makes water window x-ray lasers within the reach of many moderately sized laser installations. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.Optical ionization and heating of gases by intense picosecond KrF laser radiation

Preliminary studies of radiation coupling between remote soft X-ray laser amplifiers
Applied Physics B Laser and Optics 58:1 (1994) 51-56
Abstract:
Coupling of a soft X-ray laser beam with a relaying concave mirror in a sequentially pumped amplifier geometry using the Ne-like Ge system has been studied experimentally. Preliminary observations indicate an increase in the spatial coherence of the amplified relayed beam. In addition, near-field imaging of one of the amplifier plasmas shows a double-lobed intensity pattern of the emergent beam indicating refractive guiding of the amplified beam with components both normal and tangential to the target surface. © 1994 Springer-Verlag.Progress in vacuum ultraviolet lasers
