Abstract:
We report our most recent progress in the development of capillary discharge soft x-ray lasers. This includes the first observation of discharge-pumped ultrashort wavelength lasing in a material that is solid at room temperature (S), and preliminary results of discharges in Ca. Excitation by a capillary discharge of S vapor generated by discharge ablation of a solid target resulted in amplification in Ne-like S at 60.8 nm with a gain-length product of 7.5. Overheating of the electron temperature respect to steady-state ionization conditions and transient population effects significantly increased the gain above the steady state-value. The results of two-dimensional near-field and far-field imaging of a saturated table-top Ne-like Ar laser and the measurement of its spatial coherence as a function of amplifier length are also reported and compared with model calculations. The generation of a capillary discharge plasma waveguide is to be used in combination with ultrashort pulse laser excitation for the generation of a new kind of efficient collisional soft x- ray laser is discussed. ©2004 Copyright SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering.
