A 10 Hz, 3 microjoule transient soft X-ray laser pumped in grazing incidence
We present recent results on the extensive investigation of a Ni-like Mo X-ray laser pumped in the transient regime and GRIP (grazing incidence pumping) configuration. The pump laser was the 10 Hz, multi-terawatt, Ti:Sa laser system at Lund Laser Centre, Sweden. The main diagnostic was a monochromatic near-field imaging system with a 1.7 micron spatial resolution. Intense lasing was observed ro...
متن کاملHour-long continuous operation of a tabletop soft x-ray laser at 50-100 Hz repetition rate.
We report the uninterrupted operation of an 18.9 nm wavelength tabletop soft x-ray laser at 100 Hz repetition rate for extended periods of time. An average power of about 0.1 mW was obtained by irradiating a Mo target with pulses from a compact diode-pumped chirped pulse amplification Yb:YAG laser. Series of up to 1.8 x 10(5) consecutive laser pulses of ~1 µJ energy were generated by displacing...
متن کاملOptimum driving a Z-pinch for soft X-Ray lasers
A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
متن کاملCollimation of dense plasma jets created by low-energy laser pulses and studied with soft x-ray laser interferometry.
The physical mechanisms driving the collimation of dense plasma jets created by low-energy ( approximately 0.6 J) laser pulse irradiation of triangular grooves were studied for different target materials using soft-x-ray interferometry and hydrodynamic code simulations. The degree of collimation of jets created by irradiating C, Al, Cu, and Mo targets at intensities of I=1x10(12) W cm(-2) with ...
متن کاملOperation and output pulse characteristics of an extremely compact capillary-discharge tabletop soft-x-ray laser.
We report on the operating parameters and laser output pulse characteristics of an extremely compact discharge-pumped 46.9-nm laser of a size comparable with that of many widely utilized visible and ultraviolet gas lasers. This capillary-discharge laser generated subnanosecond laser pulses with energies of as much as 25microJ by single-pass amplification in an 18.6-cm-long argon-plasma column. ...
