Quantitative Spectroscopy in Pulsed Power Devices

Abstract

This report covers the second stage of an experimental research project directed towards the development of ultrashort wavelength lasers involving pulsed power devices rather than cylindrically focused high power lasers. During this second stage, modifications to the construction of the pinch source have been made, and a redesign of the pinch container and pumping mechanism with the aim of enhancing certain diagnostics has been undertaken. Diagnostic equipment has been procured, constructed, installed, and tested. In addition, a data acquisition system has been procured and is being installed. Further diagnostic equipment has been ordered. The experiment has progressed well into the developmental stage.
