PRO O F CO PY [ LX 9056 A ] 095510 PRA Demonstration of high - repetition - rate tabletop soft - x - ray lasers with saturated output
Saturated tabletop lasers operating at 5 Hz repetition rate with average powers 1 W were demonstrated at wavelengths between 16.5 and 13.9 nm in the 4d P1–4p S0 transitions of Ni-like ions. The results were obtained using picosecond laser heating pulses with an energy of only 1 J by optimizing the angle of incidence for maximum energy deposition. Lasing was also observed for shorter wavelength ...
متن کاملDemonstration of a 100 Hz repetition rate gain-saturated diode-pumped table-top soft x-ray laser.
We demonstrate the operation of a gain-saturated table-top soft x-ray laser at 100 Hz repetition rate. The laser generates an average power of 0.15 mW at λ=18.9 nm, the highest laser power reported to date from a sub-20-nm wavelength compact source. Picosecond laser pulses of 1.5 μJ energy were produced at λ=18.9 nm by amplification in a Mo plasma created by tailoring the temporal intensity p...
متن کاملHigh repetition rate operation of saturated tabletop soft x-ray lasers in transitions of neon-like ions near 30 nm.
We report average powers exceeding 1 microwatt in laser transitions of Ne-like ions at wavelengths near 30 nm. Gain-saturated operation was obtained at a repetition rate of 5 Hz exciting solid targets with pump pulses of ~1 J energy and 8 ps duration impinging at grazing incidence of 20 degrees. Gain-length products of about 20 were obtained in the 30.4 nm and 32.6 nm transitions of Ne-like V a...
متن کاملPulse duration measurements of grazing-incidence-pumped high repetition rate Ni-like Ag and Cd transient soft x-ray lasers.
We have measured the pulse duration of gain-saturated 13.9 nm Ni-like Ag and 13.2 nm Ni-like Cd transient collisional lasers excited by grazing-incidence-pumping for several pumping conditions. High-resolution streak-camera measurements yielded FWHM pulse durations close to 5 ps for both lasers under optimum pumping conditions. The very high brightness and short pulse duration of these new high...
متن کاملGain-saturated 10.9 nm tabletop laser operating at 1 Hz repetition rate.
We report the demonstration of a gain-saturated 10.9 nm tabletop soft x-ray laser operating at 1 Hz repetition rate. Lasing occurs by collisional electron impact excitation in the 4dS01-->4pP11 transition of nickel-like Te in a line-focus plasma heated by a chirped-pulse-amplification Ti:sapphire laser. With an average power of 1muW and pulse energy up to approximately 2microJ, this laser exten...
