Abstract

Spatial characteristics of Ni-like silver x-ray laser using grazing incidence pumping (GRIP) schemes were investigated. We succeeded in lasing from a nickellike silver plasma in the GRIP geometry using both a double pump laser pulse as well as a single-profiled pulse.The transverse profile of the intensity distribution as well as the spatial coherence of both variants of Ni-like Ag x-ray laser were determined by far-field measurements and the Young's double slit interferometry. The x-ray laser pumped by a single-profiled pulse showed the output beam with a highly coherent part of a reasonable volume containing about 3% of the total photon number
