类氖锗等离子体中软X激光饱和增益实验研究

进入“冰窗”波段和获得饱和增益输出是当前实验室研究X激光的目标。考察X激光输出的强度随靶长的变化规律,是判断是否达到饱和增益的重要依据,但必须排除折射等因素造成的假像。为了校正折射等的影响,我们曾经提出并实施了“双靶对接”方案,在功率为10~(12)W的LF-12~#钕玻璃激光装置上,获得了高增益的类氖锗等离子体中软X激光输出。最近,在饱和增益研究实验中,我们发展了双靶对接的概念。设计了“多靶串接”方案,获得了趋于饱和的类氖锗等离子体中软X激光输出。

介绍了“四靶串接”设计思想,继对接方式之后,又提出了顺接方式来提高X光激光增益,使四靶总长度达到5.6cm。我们研制了程序系列来模拟这一实验,直接给出测点处的X光激光的强度。先用上轮“双靶对接”实验结果检验我们的程序系列,使得23.2nm激光线的结果与实验数据相符合,再用它模拟“四靶串接”实验。在实验之前,对各靶之间距离和角度,以及这些数据对实验结果的敏感程度作了预估,用以指导实验。实验结果证明理论模拟是正确的。23.2nm和23.6nm两条激光线已明显趋于饱和,其小讯号增益长度积GL分别达到18.3和17.6,有效GL分别达到16.4和15.7。X光激光的发散角已减小到3～4mrad,超过美国利弗莫尔实验室(LLNL)已发表的最好结果。

Relic crystal-lattice effects on Raman compression of powerful x-ray pulses in plasmas

Powerful x-ray pulses might be compressed to even greater powers by means of backward Raman amplification in ultradense plasmas produced by ionizing condensed matter by the same pulses. The pulse durations contemplated are shorter than the time for complete smoothing of the crystal lattice by thermal motion of ions. Although inhomogeneities are generally thought to be deleterious to the Raman amplification, the relic lattice might, in fact, be useful for the Raman amplification. The x-ray frequency band gaps can suppress parasitic Raman scattering of amplified pulses, while enhanced dispersion of the x-ray group velocity near the gaps can delay self-phase-modulation instability, thereby enabling further amplification of the x rays.

Plasmas with an index of refraction greater than 1

Over the past decade, x-ray lasers in the wavelength range 14-47 nm have been used for interferometry of plasmas. As in optical interferometry of plasmas, the experimental analysis assumed that the index of refraction is due only to free electrons. This makes the index of refraction less than 1. Recent experiments in A1 plasmas have shown fringe lines bending the wrong way as though the electron density were negative. We show how the bound electrons can dominate the index of refraction in many plasmas and make the index greater than 1 or enhance the index such that one would greatly overestimate the density of the plasma using interferometry.     

Optimization of laser propagation in optical-field-ionization plasmas for X-ray laser generation

Optical-field-ionization X-ray lasers are investigated numerically with a three-dimensional wave propagation code considering the effects of photoionization, energy depletion due to ionization, and refraction on pump laser pulses in spatially and temporally varied plasmas. By focusing the pump laser with small f-number optics at the optimal position, simulations show that diffraction and ionization-induced refraction in plasmas are compensated to keep the pump beam propagating at the optimal size for a longer distance. An amplification length as long as 5 mm can be achieved in Pd-like xenon and Ni-like krypton X-ray lasers at a pump energy of 160 mJ in 50-fs and 30-fs pulses, respectively. The significant reduction of the pump energy is a desirable step toward low-threshold and practical high-repetition-rate operations. PACS 42.55.Vc; 52.50.Jm     

Picosecond x-ray laser interferometry of dense plasmas

We present the first results from picosecond interferometry of dense laser-produced plasmas using a soft x-ray laser. The picosecond duration and short wavelength of the 14.7 nm Ni-like Pd laser mitigates effects associated with motion blurring and refraction through millimeter-scale plasmas. This enables direct measurement of the electron-density profile to within 10 microm of the target surface. A series of high-quality two-dimensional (2D) density measurements provide unambiguous characterization of the time evolution in a fast-evolving plasma suitable for validation of existing 1D and 2D hydrodynamic codes.     

Observation of a multiply ionized plasma with index of refraction greater than one

We present clear experimental evidence showing that the contribution of bound electrons can dominate the index of refraction of laser-created plasmas at soft x-ray wavelengths. We report anomalous fringe shifts in soft x-ray laser interferograms of Al laser-created plasmas. The comparison of measured and simulated interferograms shows that this results from the dominant contribution of low charge ions to the index of refraction. This usually neglected bound electron contribution can affect the propagation of soft x-ray radiation in plasmas and the interferometric diagnostics of plasmas for many elements.     

Short soft x‐ray sources

In this work we report on the characterization of pulsed soft x‐rays emitted from laser‐produced plasma. The plasma was generated by a pulsed KrF excimer laser focused on pure Si, Cu and Ta targets by 40, 80 and 120 mJ laser energies. The utilized detector was a very sensitive Faraday cup which opportunely biased was able to record time‐resolved signals of x‐rays and to estimate their energy. The found x‐rays energy values were compared with the ion temperature of the plasma obtained by fitting the time‐resolved ion current signals with a shifted Maxwell‐Boltzmann velocity distribution. The results showed that the laser‐produced Ta plasma induced bunches of x‐rays having in average the highest energy values and it was also characterized by ion temperature higher than the ones of the laser‐produced Si and Cu plasmas.

Negative refraction and rough surfaces: A new regime for lensing

The action of a rough, but differentiable, interface upon the passage of rays between air and a left-handed medium is considered. It is shown that negative refraction brings rays to a focus at distances closer to the boundary than can be attained by conventional refraction. This effect enables a new mechanism for reflection to occur, even in media that are impedance matched, caused principally by rays undergoing two interactions with the interface via paths that pass exclusively through air or the left-handed medium.
