Shadowgrams of a Dense Micro-Capillary Plasma Obtained with a Table-Top Soft X-Ray Laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
A sequence of high resolution shadowgrams that map the evolution of the plasma of a 380 m diameter microcapillary discharge was obtained using a very compact 46.9 nm laser. These images are the first plasma diagnostics data obtained using a table-top soft X-ray laser.

Optimum driving a Z-pinch for soft X-Ray lasers
A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
متن کاملApplication of extremely compact capillary discharge soft x-ray lasers to dense plasma diagnostics
Table-top capillary discharge soft x-ray lasers combine the advantages of a small size and a high repetition rate with an extremely high brightness similar to that of their laboratory-size predecessors. When utilized to probe high density plasmas their short wavelength results in a higher critical density, reduced refraction, decreased free-electron absorption, and higher resolution as compared...
متن کاملTable-Top Soft X-Ray Laser Interferograms of Dense Laser-Created Plasma
We report soft X-ray interferograms that illustrate the use of a very compact table-top soft X-ray laser in mapping the electron density evolution of a dense plasma. The spatial density distribution of a point-focus laser-created plasma with 300 m dimension was measured for densities up to 6.5 1020 cm .
متن کاملTable-top soft x-ray lasers
This article reviews the progress in the development of practical table-top sources of soft x-ray laser radiation. The field is rapidly approaching the stage at which soft x-ray lasers sufficiently compact to fit onto a normal optical table will be routinely utilized in science and technology. This is the result of recent advances in the amplification of soft x-ray radiation in both compact las...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional near-field and far-field imaging of a Ne-like Ar capillary discharge table-top soft-x-ray laser
We have performed systematic measurements and numerical modeling of the divergence and exit beam size of a 46.9 nm Ne-like Ar capillary discharge pumped soft-x-ray amplifier. Two-dimensional near-field and far-field measurements were obtained over a wide range of discharge parameters. The spot size and divergence of the laser beam were observed to increase significantly with decreasing discharg...
