  • HIGH REPETITION-RATE, ALL LASER DIODE-PUMPED EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET/SOFT X-RAY LASER AND PUMP SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20100040105
    Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet/soft x-ray laser driven by a compact solid-state chirped pulse amplification laser system entirely pumped by laser diodes is described. The solid-state pump laser generates compressed pulses of sub-10 ps duration with energy greater than 1 J at a chosen repetition rate in a cryogenically cooled Yb:YAG system. Lasing in the 18.9 nm line of Ni-like Mo was observed. The diode-pumped laser has the potential to greatly increase the repetition rate and average power of lasers having a variety of EUV/SXR wavelengths on a significantly smaller footprint.
