Saturation of the Xe III 109-nm laser using traveling-wave laser-produced-plasma excitation

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5215631
; ; ;
Construction and operation of a 109-nm, photoionization-pumped, single-pass laser in Xe III are described. The laser is pumped by soft x rays emitted from a laser-produced plasma in a traveling-wave geometry. Using a 3.5-J, 300-psec, 1064-nm laser pump pulse, a small-signal gain coefficient of 4.4/cm and a total small-signal gain of exp(40) were measured. The laser is fully saturated and produces an output energy of 20 micro J in a beam with 10-mrad divergence.
