Lasing at 7.9 nm in nickellike neodymium
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California 94550 (United States)
Using a series of 150-ps pulses from the Nova laser to illuminate neodymium slab targets, we observe a 38-ps-duration lasing pulse at 7.906 nm in nickellike neodymium on the {ital J}=0{r_arrow}1, 4{ital d}{r_arrow}4{ital p} transition. To overcome the low gain in this system, we used a traveling-wave geometry in conjunction with two slab targets that were coupled lengthwise to increase the effective length and whose surfaces were curved to compensate partially for refraction effects. {copyright} 1995 Optical Society of America
