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 the primary effort has been on the development of a new type of VUV light source based on spontaneous anti-Stokes scattering. This type of source may prove bright enough to serve as a pump for very short wavelength lasers. Details of the work are included. In addition, on investigation of factors limiting the efficiency of 3547 A to 1182 A generation in Xe was completed; a manuscript describing the results has been accepted for publication the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics.
