Enhanced output of soft X-ray lasers using double slab targets

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10173653
Double slab neon-like niobium soft x-ray laser experiments have been performed using the Nova laser. The two slabs have their front surfaces facing in opposite directions with either a 300 {mu}m planar separation between them. Separate laser beams irradiate each slab with an intensity on target of 1.3 {times} 10{sup 14} W/cm{sup 2}. Best coupling was observed using a 300 {mu}m separation. The angular divergence of the laser is measured for single slab and double slab configurations. Comparisons to numerical models are discussed.
