This article reviews the progress in the development of practical table-top sources of soft x-
ray laser radiation. The field is rapidly approaching the stage at which soft x-ray lasers …

We report the first observation of large soft-x-ray amplification (gl= 7.2) in a discharge-
created plasma. A fast,∼ 40 kA, current pulse from a compact discharge was used to excite …

We report the generation of laser pulse energies up to 30 μ J at 46.9 nm in the plasma
column of a fast compressional capillary discharge. Double pass experiments using an …

An energy approach based on consistent QED theory is outlined which presents the energy
of any decaying atomic state in complex form with the imaginary part responsible for different …

The energy levels and observed spectral lines of ionized argon atoms, in all stages of
ionization, have been compiled. Sufficient experimental data were found to generate level …

We show that ultradense Z pinches with nanoscale dimensions can be generated by
irradiating aligned nanowires with femtosecond laser pulses of relativistic intensity. Using …

Recent x-ray laser reviewsl-3 summarized the significant progress achieved in this field,
following the first successful demonstration of collisionally excited4 and recombination …

We report on the operating parameters and laser output pulse characteristics of an
extremely compact discharge-pumped 46.9-nm laser of a size comparable with that of many …

We report the observation of discharge-pumped extreme ultraviolet lasing in collisionally
excited ions of a material ablated from a solid target. Excitation of sulfur plasmas by a …
