Inexpensive Capillary Discharge X-Ray Laser Driver
Abstract
In Phase I of the research we computationally modelled a capillary discharge device capable of producing the necessary plasma conditions to demonstrate ASE in argon at a wavelength of about 700 angstroms. Phase 11 of the research will involve the development and diagnosis of the experimental apparatus necessary to demonstrate ASE in argon. The scaling and modification of that apparatus to demonstrate ASE at shorter wavelengths using higher-Z materials will also be investigated. Future work will involve the development of robust multilayer cavity mirrors for shorter wavelengths to increase the overall intensity and usefulness of soft x-ray lasers.
