Generation of Coherent VUV and Soft X-Rays

Abstract

The goal of this program is the development of practical sources of coherent vacuum ultraviolet radiation. During this reporting period two primary projects have been active. The first is the production of coherent radiation at the Lyman alpha wavelength of 1218 A. Such radiation is potentially applicable to the diagnosis of plasmas, such as those studied under the nuclear fusion program. The second project has elucidated the factors which limit the efficiency of the process 3547 A yields 1182 A in Xe, and suggests solutions. Details of the research are presented in the following sections.
