Small-scale soft x-ray laser development at Princeton

摘要

The development of small-scale soft x-ray lasers is crucial for their widespread application to various fields in science and technology. At Princeton, efforts to develop a table-top soft x-ray laser at CVI 18.2 nm have been pursued. Significant gain (G $EQ 4 - 8 cm$+$MIN@1$/) at 18.22 nm has been achieved with a low energy (6 - 15 J) Nd/glass laser at 1.05 $mu@m in a variety of target geometries.
