摘要：

We report recent investigations on collisional Optical-Field Ionization soft-x ray lasers. The amplifying medium is generated by focussing a high energy circularly polarized, 35 fs 10 Hz; Ti: sapphire laser system in a few mm cell filled with gas (xenon or krypton). Using xenon, a gain of 67 cm(-1) on the 4d(9)5p-4d(9)5d transition at 41.8 nm in Pd-like xenon and a gain-length product of 15 have been inferred at saturation. This source delivers about 5 109 photons per pulse. Using krypton, a large amplification of the 3d(9)4d-3d(9)4p line at 32.8 nm as been observed for the first time. The influence of the pumping energy and the laser polarization on the lasing output are also presented.
