Abstract
When a 1.06 μm laser beam is focused onto a high-Z target at intensities of 1012 - 1014 W cm-2, a plasma is formed from which a burst of soft x-rays is emitted with a conversion efficiency in excess of 10%. This burst of x-rays can be used as an x-ray flashlamp to pump potential extreme ultraviolet (XUV) laser systems.1,2
