Abstract

Fully coherent soft x-ray laser (SXRL) was achieved seeding high harmonics (HH) seed into a solid-plasma amplifier. Wave front of both HH seed and amplified seed were measured using Hartmann wave front sensor. Wave front rootmean- square (RMS) value and stability were observed with improvement of more than two times. In terms of wave front quality, optimized HH seeding parameters on injection time, injection angle and plasma length were discussed. With the benefit of the intensity and phase detection, electromagnetic field of HH seed and amplified seed beam were studied by back-propagation. The reconstructed SXRL source confirmed its high peak brightness.
