Abstract
A CO2 laser (1 kJ, 75nS F.W.H.M.) was used to create a plasma from a variety of targets, either solid (e.g. C, Aℓ) or gas (e.g. CO2, Ne) in an experiment to develop a soft X-ray laser. An absolute intensity calibrated VUV duochromater was used to observe line emission from the plasma. A scanning slit assembly limited the field of view of the duochromator to a region 1 mm × 0.1 mm, the long dimension being normal to the target. By scanning the slit and target position the radial and axial distributions of the line intensities were built up on a shot-to-shot basis for the different targets.
