X-ray laser emission from a laser-irradiated gas puff target

H. FIEDOROWICZ and A. BARTNIK
 
The paper describes the research on soft X-ray lasers with an active medium created using a gas puff target irradiated
with high-intensity laser pulses. The gas puff target in a form of an elongated gas sheet is produced by pulsed injection of
gas through a slit nozzle using a high-pressure electromagnetic valve. The method of generation of soft X-ray lasers using a
laser-irradiated gas puff target has been developed at the Institute of Optoelectronics. The collaborative experiments were
performed at various laser laboratories using high-intensity laser systems to irradiate the gas puff target and pump the X-ray
laser active medium. Results of these experiments are presented and discussed. Works aimed at increasing the efficiency of
X-ray lasers using a longitudinally irradiated gas puff target are also reviewed.
