X-ray laser research at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics

摘要

Research on X-ray lasers at Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics is reviewed. The main part of this work is performed using the Asterix IV high- power iodine laser, an installation capable of delivering a maximal output energy of 1.2 kJ for a pulse duration of 450 ps. The research areas investigated include photo-resonant pumping, charge transfer X-ray lasers and recombination lasers.
