Using low and high prepulses to enhance the J=0-1 transition at 19.6 nm in the Ne-like germanium XUV laser
We report a study of the effect of prepulses on XUV lasing of Ne-like germanium for an irradiation geometry where ≈20 mm long germanium slab targets were irradiated at ≈1.6 × 1013 W cm-2 using ≈0.7 ns (1.06 μm) pulses from the VULCAN glass laser. Prepulses were generated at fractional power levels o...
