Abstract

X-ray lasers are currently being studied in many laboratories around the world. This paper gives a short description of x- ray laser physics, presents the parameters of existing x-ray lasers, and their applications. Research aimed at developing an efficient x-ray laser acceptable to potential users is discussed. A new method to produce an x-ray laser active medium using a laser-irradiated gas puff target is presented in the final part of the paper.© (1997) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
