Description
Double slab neon-like niobium soft x-ray laser experiments have been performed using the Nova laser. The two slabs have their front surfaces facing in opposite directions with either a 300 μm or 600 μm planar separation between them. Separate laser beams irradiate each slab with an intensity on target of 1.3x1014 W/cm2. Best coupling was observed using a 300 μm separation. The angular divergence of the laser is measured for single slab and double slab configurations. Comparisons to numerical models are discussed
