Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to present experimental results on comparison of lasing efficiency for Li III 13.5 nm (2-1 transition) line in LiF microcapillary plasmas using 0.25 and 1 μm subpicosecond pumping lasers. A formula for soft X-ray laser efficiency calculation is presented and used for such comparisons. The results for discharge created preplasma in L = 4 mm and L = 14 mm microcapillaries are also presented and compared with the results for laser created preplasma.
