Abstract

We report the demonstration of a gain-saturated 10.9 nm tabletop soft x-ray laser operating at 1 Hz repetition rate. Lasing occurs by collisional electron impact excitation in the 4d ¹S₀-;4_p ¹P₁ transition of nickellike Te in a line-focus plasma heated by a chirped-pulse-ampliflcation Ti:sapphire laser. With an average power of 1 W and pulse energy up to ∼2 J, this laser extends the ability to conduct tabletop laser experiments to a shorter wavelength.
