ARPA/NRL X-ray laser program
Abstract
The ARPA/NRL X-ray laser program is concerned with demonstrating gain in the soft X-ray region. The overall program is jointly supported by ARPA and NRL. The approaches include electron-collisional pumping of ions, resonant charge transfer pumping, optical parametric mixing to short wavelengths, traveling wave e-beam and discharge pumping, and analysis and numerical modeling. This report covers the overall program for the ARPA portion as well as the progress made during the second half of FY-76 and FY-76T for both the ARPA portion and the continuing NRL effort.
