This article reviews the progress in the development of practical table-top sources of soft x-
ray laser radiation. The field is rapidly approaching the stage at which soft x-ray lasers …

The free-electron laser, first proposed by Madey in 1971, has significantly reduced laser
wavelengths to the vacuum ultraviolet, and soft X-ray regions. Recently, an X-ray free …

We report the first observation of large soft-x-ray amplification (gl= 7.2) in a discharge-
created plasma. A fast,∼ 40 kA, current pulse from a compact discharge was used to excite …

A novel two-step excitation scheme for an efficient table-top x-ray laser has been realized for
the first time. A nanosecond pulse creates a plasma of neonlike ions of titanium, followed by …

We report the generation of laser pulse energies up to 30 μ J at 46.9 nm in the plasma
column of a fast compressional capillary discharge. Double pass experiments using an …

This volume represents the most complete, up-to-date compilation of wavelengths of lasers
in all media. Divided by type-solid, liquid, and gas-and listed in order of increasing …

Lasers continue to be an amazingly robust field of activity. Anyone seeking a photon source
is now confronted with an enormous number of possible lasers and laser wavelengths to …

We have demonstrated a new type of high repetition rate 46.9 nm capillary discharge laser
that fits on top of a small desk and that it does not require a Marx generator for its excitation …

We have demonstrated small signal gain saturation on several transient-gain Ni-like ion x-
ray lasers by using a high-power, chirped-pulse amplification, tabletop laser. These results …
