Abstract

We summarise the progress achieved at LSAI in the understanding and optimisation of the transient collisional pumping of X-ray lasers using an ultra-short sub-ps heating pulse. The effect of travelling-wave irradiation on the lasing signal on the 4d1 S0 → 4p1 P1 Ni-like Ag line at 13.9 nm is studied in detail. Under specific irradiation conditions strong laser emission is also obtained on another spectral line at 16.05 nm, which is identified as the 4f1 P1-4d1 P1 transition in Ni-like Ag.
