Is efficiency of gain generation in Li III 13.5-nm laser with 0.25-μm subpicosecond pulses the same as with 1 μm?

The main goal of this paper is to present experimental results on comparison of lasing efficiency for Li III 13.5 nm (2-1 transition) line in LiF microcapillary plasmas using 0.25 and 1 mu m subpicosecond pumping lasers. A formula for soft X-ray laser efficiency calculation is presented and used for...

Summary:The main goal of this paper is to present experimental results on comparison of lasing efficiency for Li III 13.5 nm (2-1 transition) line in LiF microcapillary plasmas using 0.25 and 1 mu m subpicosecond pumping lasers. A formula for soft X-ray laser efficiency calculation is presented and used for such comparisons. The results for discharge created preplasma in L=4 mm and L=14 mm microcapillaries are also presented and compared with the results for laser created preplasma
