چکیده
A discussion of t h e general requirements of condit ions necessary t o generate high gain i n expansion cooled recombination l a s e r s w i l l be given. Numerical modelling allows s c a l i n g laws f o r t h e condit ions of optimum gain t o be derived, and hence matched t o plasma generated from l a s e r heated carbon f i b r e s . Comparison between experiment and theory i s good. These sca l ing re la t i o n s may be used t o optimise gain. General isat ion of t h i s approach using f o i l s and composite t a r g e t allows a range of wavelengths t o be generated.

Femtosecond-pulse-driven electron-excited extreme-ultraviolet lasers in Be-like ions.
A suggestion for the generation of extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) laser radiation based on tunneling ionization and subsequent electron excitation of Deltan not equal 0 transitions is described. The favorable scaling of the required intensity of the pump laser with the output XUV wavelength is compared with that exhibited by XUV lasers ased on Deltan = 0 transitions. Calculations for Be-like Ne pred...
متن کاملIntrapulse x-ray parametric amplification in high-order-harmonic generation
We demonstrate strong-field-driven impulsive XUV–x-ray parametric amplification (IXPA) processes in high-order harmonic generation at the single-atom level by using ab initio calculations. We consider the example of Li+ ions exposed simultaneously to an intense IR pulse and a weak 200-as XUV–x-ray pulse with central photon energies varying from 90 to 400 eV. We determine optimal parameter range...
متن کاملDouble photoexcitation of He atoms by attosecond xuv pulses in the presence of intense few-cycle infrared lasers
We studied the photoelectron spectra of He atoms resulting from double photoexcitation to autoionizing states by an attosecond xuv pulse in the presence of intense few-cycle Ti:sapphire lasers using the timedependent hyperspherical close-coupling method. In its first application we show that the combination of a weak xuv pulse and an intense infrared laser offers an efficient means for probing ...
متن کاملVIEWPOINT Free - Electron Laser Does
L ight is perhaps the pre-eminent scientific tool, not just for observing objects but also for manipulating them. Near the visible part of the spectrum, conventional laser light is especially important thanks to its coherence and tunability, which give scientists fine control of the light beam in space and frequency. But conventional lasers do not operate in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) wavele...
