Parametric study of plasma active medium and gain saturation region in a Ne-like soft X-ray laser

Plasmas created by the interaction of high power optical laser with a target surface can be used as a source of soft X-ray lasers. Plasma and pump laser characteristics play significant role in achieving high gain coefficient for such plasma based on soft X-ray lasers. In the present work, the plasma active medium parameters for germanium element at a wavelength of 19.6 nm irradiated by a double-pulse pump laser have been studied using MED103 hydrodynamic code. For this purpose, first, the effects of laser intensity, pulse width and delay time of two pulses on the gain coefficient have been investigated and the optimum conditions for the maximum gain extent of Ne-like germanium soft X-ray laser are obtained. Then, in order to calculate the intensity of such high gain lasers in which Linford equation is invalid, we have adopted the general formula of amplified spontaneous emission intensity, which is valid in all range of intensities even at much higher intensities than saturation intensity. Finally, the soft X-ray laser intensities in the saturated areas for different plasma lengths have been calculated. The results show that the output of soft X-ray laser intensity with 294 cm⁻¹ gain coefficient can reach to about several times saturated intensity by applying a 1–2 mm plasma length as the active medium.

A SCHEME FOR OBTAINING HIGH GAIN-LENGTH PRODUCT IN RECOMBINATION X-RAY LASER BY USING A LOW DENSITY TARGET

A scheme for obtaining high gain-length product(GL) of recombination X-ray laser is proposed and theoretically studied, in which a thin fiber with a density less than the critical one is driven by a short pulse laser. The features of laser-produced plasma and the gain coefficients of the transition from n = 3 to n = 2 of the H-like ions for a solid fiber and a low-density cylindrical target of carbon are shown. The Sobolev escape probability in a self-similarly expanding cylindrical geometry is used to evaluate the trapping effect on the gain coefficient. According to the simulations there are three obvious advantages of the low-density target, ie., wider gain region, longer lasing duration and no drift of the gain region. In addition, only a few joules are needed for getting saturated GL value.
