Development of X-Ray Laser Media: Measurement of Gain and Development of Cavity Resonators for Wavelengths Near 130 Angstroms.
Abstract
A new experimental facility was used to explore a range of conditions under which inverted populations on soft x-ray transitions could be produced in laser heated plasmas. Direct measurements with grating spectrographs were performed in the vicinity of 130 angstroms to develop the diagnostic techniques for gain determination. Designs for reflectors suitable for use in cavity resonators at soft x-ray wavelengths were developed. Construction of apparatus to produce such reflectors was begun. A patent on the reflector design was applied for. (Author)
