Abstract
We present a nickel-like Molybdenum x-ray laser (XRL) based on the transient collisional excitation scheme. Extending the double grazing-incidence pumping scheme to a triple pulse scheme with a nanosecond pre-pulse and two consecutive 3 ps pulses the output power of the XRL can be ∼6 times increased compared to existing configurations, while using a relatively low total pump energy of 0.7 J. Additionally we show that this setup can be extended to a double stage, oscillator and amplifier stage, XRL.
