Abstract

The conversion efficiency into kilovolt line radiation for 248-nm light at 10¹⁷ W/cm² on an aluminum target is measured. The x-ray yield is found to increase with the scale length of the target plasma. The interaction is modeled as resonance absorption, and the plasma scale length is determined from the prelase energy and irradiance.
