| Abstract | Summary form only given, as follows. In 1994, J.J. Rocca et al. reported that a capillary discharge could produce a laser amplification at 3p-3s level of Ne-like Ar line (J = 0-1, /spl lambda/ = 46.9 nm). This has led to a successful construction of a tabletop soft X-ray laser, which is capable to generate saturated laser energy of 1 mJ at 4 Hz, with a discharge current of 26 kA. In our laboratory, research has also been performed on capillary discharge to achieve the Ne-like Ar soft X-ray gas lasing. A ceramic capillary, which has an inner diameter of 3 mm and a length of 150 mm, has been used for soft X-ray laser amplification. Spike output signal which has a characteristics of directivity, has been observed, when operating the device with a predischarge current of 5 to 15 A, a current of 9 kA to 35 kA with a half period of 110 ns in an argon gas pressure range from 100 mTorr to 800 mTorr. Gain-length product gl = 12 (g = 0.8 cm/sup -1/) was obtained with a current amplitude of 30 kA at the optimum pressure of 400 mTorr. But, we have not yet observed the beginning of gain saturation. Compared with the result of J.J. Rocca et al., the spike output observed in our experiment is quite possibly attribute to the Ne-like Ar ion soft X-ray lasing at the same wave length of 46.9 nm. However, spectroscopic measurement is needed to be conducted to confirm this. For the current of 9 kA with optimum pressure of 150 mTorr, estimated output energy is 300 nJ. And for the current of 30 kA and the optimum pressure of 400 mTorr, the estimated output energy of laser reaches 5-6 /spl mu/J. The output energy is significantly low because the lasing in our case does not reach the saturation level. Therefore, measurement of gain-length and output energy with longer capillary is needed to reveal the saturation of soft X-ray amplification and more output energy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
