Book excerpt: The first in its field, this book is both an introduction to x-ray lasers and a how-to guide for specialists. It provides new entrants and others interested in the field with a comprehensive overview and describes useful examples of analysis and experiments as background and guidance for researchers undertaking new laser designs. In one succinct volume, X-Ray Lasers collects the knowledge and experience gained in two decades of x-ray laser development and conveys the exciting challenges and possibilities still to come. The reader is first introduced to the technical challenges unique to the design and operation of lasers in the "vacuum" region of the spectrum, where the atmosphere is highly absorbent and optics are--at best--unconventional. A discussion of the basic principles for and limitations in achieving significant x-ray amplification, as well as descriptions of gain measurement techniques and instrumentation follows. Various approaches for pumping media to x-ray gain conditions are also analyzed, and descriptions of experimental progress are included wherever possible. The book concludes with a description and comparison with alternate sources and applications for an x-ray laser. This work is both an introduction to x-ray lasers and a how-to guide for specialists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These proceedings comprise of invited and contributed papers presented at the 13th International Conference on X-Ray Lasers (ICXRL 2012) which was held 11–15 June 2012 in Paris, France, in the famous Quartier Latin, inside the historical Center of Cordeliers. This conference is part of a continuing series dedicated to recent developments and applications of x-ray lasers and other coherent x-ray sources with attention to supporting technologies and instrumentation. New results in the generation of intense coherent x-rays and progress towards practical devices and their applications are reported in these proceedings, including areas of research in plasma-based x-ray lasers, 4th generation accelerator-based sources and higher harmonic generation. Recent achievements related to the increase of the repetition rate up to 100 Hz and shorter wavelength collisional plasma-based soft x-ray lasers down to about 7 nm are presented. Seeding the amplifying plasma with a femtosecond high-order harmonic of infrared laser was foreseen as the required breakthrough to break the picosecond frontier. Numerical simulations based on the Maxwell-Bloch model are presented in these proceedings, transposing the chirped pulse amplification technique to the x-ray domain in order to increase the time over which the femtosecond seed can be amplified. These proceedings also include innovative applications of soft x–ray lasers based on techniques and diagnostics relevant to topical domains such as EUV lithography, inertial confinement fusion, or warm dense matter physics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the Physics 2010 decadal survey project, the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation requested that the National Research Council assess the opportunities, over roughly the next decade, in atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) science and technology. In particular, the National Research Council was asked to cover the state of AMO science, emphasizing recent accomplishments and identifying new and compelling scientific questions. Controlling the Quantum World, discusses both the roles and challenges for AMO science in instrumentation; scientific research near absolute zero; development of extremely intense x-ray and laser sources; exploration and control of molecular processes; photonics at the nanoscale level; and development of quantum information technology. This book also offers an assessment of and recommendations about critical issues concerning maintaining U.S. leadership in AMO science and technology.

Advances in X-Ray Spectroscopy of Laser Plasmas significantly expands the scope of practical applications of X-ray spectroscopy of laser plasmas compared to traditional X-ray diagnostics of laser plasmas. The recent advances presented in this text make it possible to study the development of Langmuir waves, ion acoustic waves, transverse electromagnetic waves, parametric decay instabilities, as well as the rates of charge exchange between multicharged ions. Key Features Presents novel methods of X-Ray spectroscopy for both non-relativistic and relativistic laser-plasma interactions Includes methods of the X-Ray spectroscopy for measuring ultra-intense magnetic fields in laser plasmas Examines advanced designs of plasma-tunable X-ray lasers Demonstrates various analytical formalisms underlying the advances described in the book
Download or read book Advances in X Ray Analysis written by Charles Barrett and published by Springer. This book was released on 1978-04-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: X-ray methods applied to the characterization of substances of scientific and industrial interest continue to expand. The Denver Conference on Applications of X-Ray Analysis provides the forum by which developments in techniques, instrumentation and applications are communicated to those who have interest in X-ray methods. In recent years, a trend has developed for the conference to alternate emphasis annually between X-ray diffraction and X-ray spectrometry, yet provide a quality program in each area every year. The conference held August 3-5, 1977, followed this trend. The invited papers in the opening session represent a broader scope than the usual classification. The use of X-ray photons as an energy source for the excitation of optical emission was pre sented. The application of such techniques to selected lanthanides has been known for several years. However, V. A. Fassel presented new results in which X-rays were used to excite optical emission from aromatic organic compounds. The potential for X-ray laser applications is great. R. C. Elton gave an excellent review of the state of the art and recent advances in X-ray laser research. The results indicate that X-ray lasers are in the future, perhaps not the near future.

Download or read book Future Directions of Laboratory X Ray Laser Research written by Mordecai D. Rosen and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We explore ways to make laboratory x-ray lasers and their applications more accessible to a wider community of users. This includes optical pump facilities that are affordable due to progress in optical laser technologies, from nsec 1KJ sources, to 100 fsec 1J tabletop sources. Based on these possibilities, the future for x-ray lasers seems bright. X-ray lasers(XRLs) produced in the laboratory hold great promise for applications such as holography of wet biological samples, probing of high density plasmas, and non-linear x-ray optics. Many current XRLs are pumped by very high power, high energy optical lasers. An important example is the recent achievement of gain-length products exceeding 8 with the Ni-like (Ta and W), 4d-4p x-ray laser scheme at wavelengths just inside and just outside the water window, near the carbon K edge at 43.7 A which are optimal for x-ray holography. This achievement required the utilization of two of the ten arms of Nova, the world's most powerful laser, to pump the exploding foils that served as the amplification medium. If applications of x-ray lasers are to become a wavelength lasing using more user friendly and less costly facilities.
Download or read book Coherent Sources of XUV Radiation written by Pierre Jaeglé and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-12-11 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extreme ultraviolet radiation, also referred to as soft X-rays or XUV, offers very special optical properties. The X-UV refractive index of matter is such that normal reflection cannot take place on polished surfaces whereas beam transmission through one micrometer of almost all materials reduces to zero. Therefore, it has long been a difficult task to imagine and to implement devices designed for complex optics experiments in this wavelength range. Thanks to new sources of coherent radiation - XUV-lasers and High Order Harmonics - the use of XUV radiation, for interferometry, holography, diffractive optics, non-linear radiation-matter interaction, time-resolved study of fast and ultrafast phenomena and many other applications, including medical sciences, is ubiquitous.
