Description

Results showing the enhancement effect on soft X-ray lasing emission intensity with target substrate curvature of up to 1 mrad per mm, which compensated for refraction due to electron density gradients present in the gain region of a Ne-like Ge expanding plasma are shown. Time integrated relative intensity and pointing data are presented for the Ne-like Ge 19.6, 23.6, and 28.6 nm 3p-3s transitions. A proposed simple illumination geometry for compensating for refraction due to lateral electron density gradients is also presented
