Soft X-ray laser experiments at Norvette Laser Facility
Abstract
Experiments to study the possibility of producing an X ray laser are examined. The investigated designs are all pumped by the Novette Laser, operated at short pulse (tau/sub L/ approx. 100 psec) and an incident wavelength of lambda /sub L/ approx. 0.53 (MU)m. The possibility of lasing at 53.6, 68.0 to 72.0, 119.0, and 153.0 eV, is studied using the the inversion methods of resonant photo excitation, collisional excitation, and three body recombination.
