Demonstration of Mo Soft X-Ray Lasers with a Grazing Incidence Pumping Scheme in the XL-II Facility 下载免费PDF全文
A Ni-like Mo soft x-ray laser (SXRLs) operating at 18.9nm has been demonstrated by employing a grazing incidence pumping scheme with 120m^3 in the 200ps pre-pulse and 140mJ in the 200fs main pulse. The SXRL gain is estimated to be 1.5-3cm^-1 when a grazing incidence angle of 14° is applied. Numerical simulations are also performed to investigate the dynamics of the ion distribution. It is found that a high intensity at 2.4× 10^14 W/cm^2 of the 200fs main pulse could heat the pre-plasma rapidly to an appropriate temperature for population inversion, and could compensate for the shortage of the total pump energy to a certain extent. 相似文献

Theoretical study of Ni-like Ag 13.9nm TCE x-ray laser driven by two picosecond pulses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
The Ni-like Ag 13.9nm x-ray laser has been previously demonstrated
that the higher gain near critical surface contributes little to the
amplification of the x-ray laser because of severe refraction. In
this paper, the transient collision excitation (TCE) Ni-like Ag
13.9nm x-ray laser is simulated, driven by two 3ps short pulse
preceded by a 330ps long prepulse, optimization of the peak to
peak delay time of the two short pulses is made to get the best
results. Simulation indicates that by producing lowly ionized
preplasma with smoothly varying electron density, it is possible to
decrease electron density gradient in higher density region, and
thus higher gains near this region could be utilized, and if the
main short pulse is delayed by 900ps, local gains where electron
density larger than ~ 4×1020cm-3 could be utilized. 相似文献

We have demonstrated a 10 Hz Ni-like Mo x-ray laser operating at 18.9 nm with 150 mJ total pump energy by employing a novel pumping scheme. The grazing-incidence scheme is described, where a picosecond pulse is incident at a grazing angle to a Mo plasma column produced by a slab target irradiated by a 200 ps laser pulse. This scheme uses refraction of the short pulse at a predetermined electron density to increase absorption to pump a specific gain region. The higher coupling efficiency inherent to this scheme allows a reduction in the pump energy where 70 mJ long pulse energy and 80 mJ short pulse energy are sufficient to produce lasing at a 10 Hz repetition rate. Under these conditions and by optimizing the delay between the pulses, we achieve strong amplification and close to saturation for 4 mm long targets. 相似文献

A plasma with a valley density profile at the required electron density for high-gain operation of an x-ray laser could be obtained using a normally incident 300 ps laser pulse followed by a grazing-incident 300 ps laser pulse. Sudden heating of the valley plasma region by another grazing-incident 300 fs laser pulse would then yield a highly efficient x-ray laser beam with a deflecting angle of 2 mrad and a divergence angle of 4 mrad. Saturation operation of the x-ray laser beam at 32.6 nm could be achieved with a total pump energy of less than 100 mJ. 相似文献

We have measured the pulse duration of gain-saturated 13.9 nm Ni-like Ag and 13.2 nm Ni-like Cd transient collisional lasers excited by grazing-incidence-pumping for several pumping conditions. High-resolution streak-camera measurements yielded FWHM pulse durations close to 5 ps for both lasers under optimum pumping conditions. The very high brightness and short pulse duration of these new high repetition tabletop soft x-ray lasers make them an attractive source for dynamic applications. 相似文献

掠入射低功率密度驱动Ni-like Ag X射线激光的理论研究 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
用系列程序对掠入射方式驱动亚稳态类镍银的碰撞激发机制进行数值模拟。结果发现:与正入射方式相比,掠入射在1.2×1013 W·cm-2低功率密度驱动时,驱动激光能量主要沉积在增益区附近,可以大幅度提高增益区的电子温度,也可以大幅度提高增益系数。通过对预主脉冲时间间隔和掠入射角的优化,采用10.5 ns延迟时间和16°的掠入射角,可使有效增益系数达到23.8 cm-1,比正入射提高84%。用13 J驱动激光能量就可以获得增益长度积为23.8的深度饱和增益。 相似文献

Recent progress using the VULCAN laser at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory to pump X-ray lasing in nickel-like ions is reviewed. Double pulse pumping with ∼100 ps pulses has been shown to produce significantly greater X-ray laser output than single pulses of duration 0.1–1 ns. With double pulse pumping, the main pumping pulse interacts with a pre-formed plasma created by a pre-pulse. The efficiency of lasing increases as there is a reduced effect of refraction of the X-ray laser beam due to smaller density gradients and larger gain volumes, which enable propagation of the X-ray laser beam along the full length of the target. The record shortest wavelength saturated laser at 5.9 nm has been achieved in Ni-like dysprosium using double pulse pumping of 75 ps duration from the VULCAN laser. A variant of the double pulse pumping using a single ∼100 ps laser pulse and a superimposed short ∼1 ps pulse has been found to further increase the efficiency of lasing by reducing the effects of over-ionisation during the gain period. The record shortest wavelength saturated laser pumped by a short ∼1 ps pulse has been achieved in Ni-like samarium using the VULCAN laser operating in chirped pulse amplified (CPA) mode.

We report on gain-saturated operation of the 11.9 nm X-ray lasing line in Ni-like Sn using the grazing-incidence pumping scheme (GRIP). The experiments were done with 2-ps duration pump pulses and energies up to 5 J. Strong gain saturation with multi-microjoule output was measured for the Sn laser at a grazing angle of 30° and a pump pulse energy of 3 J. This was achieved with a 4.5%, 2-ps duration prepulse 2.4 ns ahead of the main pulse and also incident at grazing incidence. Increasing laser output was observed at GRIP angles up to 45°. At this angle, the minimum energy required for saturated lasing was determined as ∼2 J. 相似文献

We report on the experimental demonstration of saturated X-ray laser output from collisionally pumped Ni-like Pd, Ag, and Sn at wavelengths of 14.7, 14.0, and 12.0 nm, respectively. Using a 100 ps drive pulse irradiation and a `twin-0.25%' prepulse configuration on flat slab targets, gain-length products >16 were obtained for the three elements. The drive power required for saturation was only 250 GW in a 100 ps pulse (25 J), corresponding to an irradiance of 10 TW/cm2. 相似文献

We report on gain-saturated operation of the 4d → 4p, J = 0-1, 11.4 nm soft-X-ray laser line in Ni-like antimony (Sb) at a pump energy of only 2.5 J. The driving laser used was a 1054 nm Nd:glass CPA laser system with a pulse duration of 7 ps (FWHM). The pump beam was focused with a tilted on-axis parabolic mirror in a grazing-incidence (GRIP) pumping configuration at an incidence angle of 45°. A fraction of 2.8% of the pump energy (∼70 mJ) was used for the prepulse, which was propagated along the same beam line as the main pulse and arrived at the target 4.4 ns before the main pulse. 相似文献

We report gain-saturated operation of a 13.2 nm table-top laser in Ni-like Cd at a 5 Hz repetition rate. A gain-length product G x L = 17.6 was obtained by heating a precreated plasma with 8 ps duration Ti:sapphire laser pulses with an energy of only 1 J impinging at a grazing angle of 23 degrees. With an average power of approximately 1 muW [corrected] this laser is an attractive coherent source for at-wavelength metrology of extreme UV lithography optics and other applications. 相似文献

Theoretical research on enhancement of gain for Ni-like Ag 13.9nm x-ray laser using a new two-layer target 下载免费PDF全文
For experiments such as on Ni-like Ag x-ray laser, driven by 1\omega
laser, the gain region is only several~nm depth near the target
surface, this paper proposes a new two-layer target, in which a thin
layer (several nm depth) of silver is plated on the surface of some
other materials. Furthermore, the Ni-like Ag 13.9~nm x-ray laser
produced by three new kinds of two-layer target with CH, Al and Ge as
foundation, was theoretically studied. 相似文献

We report the near-field imaging characterization of a 10 Hz Ni-like 18.9 nm molybdenum soft-x-ray laser pumped in a grazing incidence pumping (GRIP) geometry with a table-top laser driver. We investigate the effect of varying the GRIP angle on the spatial behavior of the soft-x-ray laser source. After multiparameter optimization, we were able to find conditions to generate routinely a high-repetition-rate soft-x-ray laser with an energy level of up to 3 microJ/pulse and to 6x10(17) photons/s/mm2/mrad2/(0.1% bandwidth) average brightness and 1x10(28) photons/s/mm2/mrad2/(0.1% bandwidth) peak brightness. 相似文献
