Abstract

X-ray laser simulations based on Ehybrid code have shown that enhanced plasma x-ray laser emission can be achieved mastering the ionization dynamics and plasma temperature using one long and two short pulses (Ursescu and Ionel, J Optoelectron Adv Mat 12:48–51, 2010). In parallel, two simple methods to generate multiple short pulses for pumping x-ray lasers were reported in conjunction with x-ray laser developments. Five to ten fold enhancement in the emission of the silver x-ray laser was demonstrated using the newly developed pump methods, when compared with the traditional one, based on a long pulse followed by one short pump pulse. An overview of these recent experiments will be presented. The possible implementation of these novel x-ray laser pumping methods at Extreme Light Infrastructure—Nuclear Physics facility will be discussed.
