Development of X-Ray Laser Media: Measurement of Gain and Development of Cavity Resonators for Wavelengths Near 130 Angstroms.

Abstract

Gain of about three per cm over a lasing length of 13.6 mm was measured on the 3-to-2 transition of hydrogen like carbon (CVI) at 182 angstroms. Laser imploded, thin, cylindrical shells were investigated in the search for more efficient targets, new techniques were developed to fabricate the cylindrical shell targets. The details of x ray emission from target plasmas were fully characterized.
