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...
