摘要：

We present guiding measurements of 0.8-mum, 100-fs pulses through LiF microcapillaries using discharge plasma. We inspect the transmission at conditions fit for soft-x-ray lasing. While up to 45% transmission is observed for input intensities of 1 x 10(18) W/cm(2), only similar to2% of the energy is contained in the small guided mode of 25 mum (FWHM). We investigate the dependence of the guiding on input intensity and focusing geometry. The transmission decreases for unmatched focal spots and as the intensity increases.
