Abstract

The efficiency of producing soft X-ray laser output from nanosecond duration optical pumping pulses has been found to be low (≈ 10-6)). This means that moderately large optical pumping lasers are required (typically producing 100 - 1000 joules in nanosecond pulses) and that because of the rapid scaling of efficiency with X-ray laser wavelength, the X-ray wavelengths able to be pumped with such medium-sized laser facilites are limited to typically >15 nm.
