Time and Space Resolved Spectroscopy of X-Ray Laser Experiments from 81Å to 220Å

Data are presented from three different x-ray laser inversion schemes tested on the Novette laser facility at LLNL: collisional excitation of neon-like selenium (λ = 206, 209, 220A); resonant photoexcitation of hydrogen-like fluorine (λ = 81A); and recombination of hydrogen-like magnesium (λ = 130A). The data illustrate the measurement capabilities of a new, time resolved imaging spectrometer (TGSS-EM), and provide insight to the dynamics and emission characteristicts of a new class of laser produced plasmas.
