摘要
Collision-pumped soft x-ray laser devices operating in quasi-steady-state mode in the 5-25 nm wavelength region now routinely produce saturated outputs, corresponding to about 10(13) - 10(14) photons in pulses of similar to50 psec duration. These partially coherent beams are extremely bright, single-shot sources of radiation with a range of demonstrated and potential applications. Here, we review some recent developments in production and characterisation of Ne-like and Ni-like soft x-ray lasers pumped by the Vulcan laser at the Central Laser Facility, UK. Stemming from this, we examine some application options including radiography, interferometry, Thomson scattering and non-linear optics.
