Laser-Produced Plasma Soft-X-Ray Generation,
Abstract
The efficiency of soft x-ray production from laser-irradiated plasmas is simulated for two different spectral regions. These two regions, 14A +/- 15% and 130A-, 1 %, were chosen for proximity mask or point projection technological applications. Relatively large conversion efficiencies were obtained from irradiation of a stainless steel target using the conditions suggested by recent Hampshire Instruments' experiments for proximity masking. Pulse-width and laser frequency parameter studies were performed for point-projection applications which suggest that the conversion efficiency is sensitive to pulse-width but not to laser frequency.
