Description

A large gain has been measured for the J=0-1 line of neonlike Zn at λ=21.2 nm. The time evolutions and the localization of emission zones of the J=0-1 and J=2-1 lines are compared. It is shown that a train of very small prepulses before the main pulse has an important role in the J=0=1 emission. A half-cavity has been successfully used to attain a nearly saturated intensity with a 2 cm long plasma. The X-UV pulse energy is of 400 μJ, the laser power of 5 MW. The driving laser is the 0.4 KJ, 600 ps laser of LULI
