Title

Tutorial On X-Ray Lasers

Abstract

The fundamental principles of x-ray lasers are discussed. Topics such as inversion density requirements, gain saturation, plasma production, excitation mechanisms (including electron excitation, photoionization and recombination), electron density limitations and laser mirror properties are described. Various laser systems including quasi-steady-state lasers and transient, non-equilibrium photoionization-pumped lasers are summarized.
