Population Inversion and Gain Measurements for Soft X-Ray Laser Development in a Magnetically Confined Plasma Column.
Abstract
The following was accomplished in the x ray laser experiments underway: 1) A new optical system was built for the CO-2 laser which allowed an order of magnitude higher power density in the focal plane. 2) The time evolution of the laser pulse was improved. 3) Work continued on the jet stream gas target. 4) A number of carbon targets were developed and tested. 5) EUV axial and transverse instruments were modified for measuring line intensities as a function of time. 6) Modifications were made to the computer simulation code, and 7) Single pass gains of between 2.8 and 3.5 were made for various carbon targets.
