A soft X-ray laser utilizing charge exchange Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A scheme for a soft x-ray laser utilizing electron pickup in an excited state of a multiply ionized species is presented. Using a current source of 10 to 20 mA, we estimate a yield of 106 x-ray quanta per pulse. The present scheme seems to be well within the realm of modern technology. 1973.
