Abstract

Seeded operation of a Neon-like Titanium plasma-based soft x-ray laser is described. The plasma amplifier is pumped using a variation of the classical grazing incidence pumping technique, combining a long low energy pulse followed by a main short pulse. Because the preformed plasma is underionized, a part of the main short pulse energy is used to ionized it to the lasing stage. Consequences of this feature on seeded laser properties are discussed.
