Abstract
We have obtained single-pass saturation of the 109-nm Auger laser in Xe III,1 using a Nd:YAG pump laser running at a repetition rate of 2 Hz. This low-energy/high-repetition-rate operation has been made possible through an extension of a recently developed oblique-incidence traveling- wave laser-produced plasma pumping geometry.2 A 1084-nm pump beam (containing 430 mJ of energy in a 0.5-ns pulse) is focused to a line on a grooved stainless steel target at an angle of incidence of 82.5°.
