Ne-like ion X-ray laser experiments in plasmas produced by 0.53 microns and 0.35 microns laser light
Abstract
Recent Ne-like ion X-ray laser experiments carried out at the Centre d'Etudes de Limeil-Valenton (CEL-V) with both 0.53-micron and 0.35-micron laser light will be described. This paper will concentrate primarily on the observation of amplification in Ne-like Sr (Z = 38) in plasmas produced by 0.53-micron laser light. Small signal gains of 4.4/cm and 4.0/cm have been measured for the Ne-like Sr J = 2-1 transitions at 164.1 and 166.5 A, respectively. In addition, the effects of pumping the Ne-like Se laser with 0.35-micron light have been investigated. The resulting Se spectra do not differ significantly from those observed with 0.53-micron light. A brief summary of other experiments carried out at CEL-V will also be given.
