Abstract

In this paper we report on development of the secondary X-ray sources at the PALS Centre and discuss the plan for the ELI Beamlines project. The spatial and temporal coherence of the most energetic quasi-steady state Ne-like Zn X-ray laser, which is operated at PALS Centre as standard user beamline, was examined proving that amplification of coherent EUV pulses with duration below 1 ps will be possible. Meanwhile, the first transient lasing at PALS Center was achieved using 10 Hz Ti:Sapphire laser chain with peak power of 20 TW as a driver. Finally, we discuss the recent design of laser driven secondary sources generating short coherent or incoherent EUV/X-ray pulses within the ELI Beamlines project.
