Self-pumped photoresonant x-ray lasers: theory and experiment

摘要

Experimental and theoretical investigations of `self-pumped' photo-resonant X- ray lasers are reported. In these lasers the same kind of ion is used as active medium and for excitation. Simulations of the realization of this idea in a transient X-ray laser and first experiments towards demonstrating a quasi-cw self-pumped X-ray laser are reported.
