Abstract

We have measured the conversion efficiency, as well as the spectral and temporal x-ray output of H- and He-like carbon line emission, from a thin foil of polypropylene that has been irradiated with subpicosecond KrF laser pulses. The effect of amplified spontaneous emission prepulse on the x-ray conversion process, as well as the application of these x-ray "flashlamps" toward pumping soft x-ray lasers, is discussed.
