Abstract
We report on the achievement of significant energy stability in a 46.9nm soft x-ray laser pumped by fast Z-pinch capillary discharges. The energy stability, investigated over, hundreds of shots, is optimized by operating the laser in the highly saturated regime using capillary discharges with length up to 45cm. We demonstrate standard deviation on the energy fluctuations smaller than ±5% and an energy∕pulse of 300μJ at 0.2Hz. These results demonstrate the reliability of this soft x-ray laser for its widespread use for the development of applications.
