X-ray laser resonator for the kilo-electron-volt range Academic Article

abstract

• We have designed, constructed, and tested an x-ray laser resonator operating in the hard x-ray, keV energy region. This ring x-ray laser cavity is formed by four highly oriented pyrolytic graphite crystals. The crystals are set at the Bragg angles that allow for the complete 360 round trip of the 2.37 , 5.23 keV L line of neodymium. In addition, we also present experimental data of a similar ring laser resonator that utilizes the Cr K 541 keV, x-ray line to propagate through the four mirrors of the cavity. The specific properties of these x-ray laser resonator mirrors, including reflection losses and cavity arrangement, are presented. 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
