The X-ray laser
Abstract
The physics phenomena relevant to X-ray amplification by stimulated emission of radiation is reviewed and a modeling procedure for the evaluation of X-ray laser properties is presented. An optical laser-pumped X-UV laser program is described. Prospective commercial and military applications of X-ray lasers are examined.
