Abstract

A study is presented to find a compact X-ray laser in the spectral range of the water window. A double laser pulse method that requires a minimum energy with an optimal timing is proposed. The precreated plasma with an optimal ion distribution is heated by a short second pulse creating the required population inversion. In particular, the Ni-like 4d → 4p transitions in tantalum, tungsten, and cesium are calculated.
