Title: Simulations of the output of the Ne-like Ti x-ray laser at 32.6 nm driven by the grazing-incidence pumping scheme

Abstract

Numerical simulations are presented for the output of a Ne-like Ti soft x-ray laser at 32.6 nm driven by the grazing-incidence pumping (GRIP) scheme, using a modified one-dimensional (1D) lagrangian hydrodynamic code MED103 coupled with an atomic physics data package and a 2D RAYTRACE code as a postprocessor. We predict that saturation can be achieved at a plasma length of 0.2 cm by an optimized driving configuration with an energy of only 200 mJ. We also compare the output beam quality of the Ne-like Ti soft x-ray laser generated by an optimized pump energy of 200 mJ and a higher energy of 385 mJ. Better spatial coherence is expected for a higher pump energy.
