Abstract

Compact, repetitively fired, gain-saturated X-ray lasers have been limited to wavelengths above λ=8.85 nm. Here we discuss their extension to λ = 6.85 nm by transient traveling wave excitation of Ni-like Gd ions in a plasma created with an optimized pre-pulse followed by rapid heating with an intense sub-ps pump pulse. Isoelectronic scaling also produced strong lasing at 6.67 nm and 6.11 nm in Ni-like Tb, and amplification at 6.41 nm and 5.85 nm in Ni-like Dy.
