Compact, Wide Aperture X-Ray Preionized XeCI Laser with High Specific Optical Power
نویسنده
چکیده
An X-ray preionized, discharge-pumped XeC1 laser with a variable beam crosssection of up to 6 x 6 cm 2 is described. It uses fiat electrodes and the beam width is determined by X-ray collimation. Its operation characteristics concerning reduced electric field strength (E/p) and X-ray dose are discussed in detail. The inductance of the discharge loop is minimized using a water capacitor arrangement. A very high specific optical power (90 MW/1) is achieved in an active volume of 1.21. The pulse energy exceeds 5 J in a 45 ns

High Pressure X-Ray Preionized TEMA-CO2 Laser
The construction of a high-pressure (up to 20 atm) transversely excited CO2 laser using transverse X-ray preionization is described. High pressure operation was found to be greatly improved in comparison to UV-preionized systems. Homogeneous discharges have been achieved in the pressure range 5-20 atm, yielding a specific laser output in the order of 35 J/1. PACS: 42.55E, 42.60B Generation and ...

A sol-gel technique under ultrasonic irradiation was applied to synthesize ZrO2/TiO2/ZnOnanocomposites. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of nanocomposites. The strain and crystalline size values of ZrO2/TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites are estimated to be 9.98×10-4 and 17.66 nm, respectively. The linear absorption coefficient of ZrO2/TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites was measure...
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 کاملGeneration and application of a high-average- power polarized soft-x-ray laser beam
We demonstrate the generation of a highly polarized soft-x-ray beam with a compact high-repetition-rate tabletop soft-x-ray laser. The radiation emitted by a high-average-power discharge-pumped tabletop Ne-like Ar soft-x-ray laser operating at 46.9 nm was polarized with a pair of Si/Sc multilayer mirrors designed for 45° operation. A degree of polarization greater than 0.96 was obtained. The po...
متن کاملCw X-ray Preionized Pulsed Gas Lasers
We have successfully demonstrated that the cw x-ray generator can work as a preionization source for a pulsed H F laser. The preionization effect of cw x radiation was revealed by a comparative study of with and without applying x-ray photons to the H F laser. Since dose rate of the cw x-ray generator is easily controllable, the laser output could be measured as a function of initial electron n...
