Abstract
We have generated a laser average output power of at a wavelength of by operating a tabletop laser-pumped Ni-like Ag laser at a repetition rate, using a solid helicoidal target that is continuously rotated and advanced to renew the target surface between shots. More than soft-x-ray laser shots were obtained by using a single target. Similar results were obtained at in Ni-like Cd with a Cd-coated target. This scheme will allow uninterrupted operation of laser-pumped tabletop collisional soft-x-ray lasers at a repetition rate of for a period of hours, enabling the generation of continuous high average soft-x-ray powers for applications.
