Evidence for recombination XUV lasing at 52.0 nm and 49.8 nm in a fast, compact Z-pinch discharge
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 March 2009
Abstract
Evidence of gain in a recombining Z-pinch plasma has been obtained at 52 and 49.8 nm. The amplified XUV radiation originated from the 4f-3d and the 4d-3p transitions of Lilike oxygen, OVI. The plasmas were generated in a small diameter Z-pinch discharge with moderate currents of 40 kA. The gain coefficient was determined by variation of the pinch tube length, leading to a gain-length product of 2.5 (4f-3d) and of 2.2 (4d-3p) for a length of 9 cm.
