By separately employing a wave optics treatment based on a modal expansion of the laser electric field and ray optics methods, criteria are proposed which serve to optimize transverse coherence. Refraction is shown to increase the saturation gain-length of the laser, thereby enabling a higher coherent energy output. Under optimum conditions the calculated output for a single stage Ni-like Ta x-ray laser of nearly one mJ in 100 psec from a single stage Ni-like Ta x-ray laser may be satisfactory for 300 {Angstrom} resolution holographic imaging of biological specimens.
