Abstract

Design and development of a compact chirped pulse amplification (CPA) laser is presented. This system will be used to generate coherent tabletop X-rays based on laser-produced plasmas (LPP) for round the clock advanced spectroscopy. The building blocks of the laser are shown and the results from the front-end are laid out. The progress on the amplification stages is presented with a scheme to extract compressed 15 J laser pulses at the output which are to be characterized and hit on rotating target for generating a plasma with enough population inversion (Ne-like or Ni-Like) as such to enable the emission of Soft X-rays. Soft X-rays laser lines from different targets will be characterized and used for different spectroscopy experiments.
