Obtaining an X-ray laser emission from plasmas, created and driven by an intense IR laser, has been pursued at the Laboratoire de Spectroscopie Atomique et Ionique (LSAI) for several years. At present, we operate various types of X-ray lasers driven by IR laser pulses of different durations (600 ps, 100 ps, and 600 ps/1 ps). A review of different techniques used at the LSAI to produce a strongly amplified emission using the collisional excitation pumping is presented. In the second part of this paper, to illustrate the potential of the X-ray lasers for applications, we present the main results obtained with an X-ray laser emitting at 21.2 nm in a study of surface defects of a niobium cathode, induced by strong electrical fields. We also describe a novel imaging interferometry device using an X-ray laser as a source and designed as a tool for high-resolution diagnostic of dense plasmas.

We present some significant results of collisional excitation X-ray laser experiments in plasmas produced by a laser. We studied the amplification in Ne- and Ni-like ions by varying both the nature and the thickness of targets, the irradiation, and the wavelength of the driving laser. Some potentially interesting scalings as a function of the atomic number of the lasing element are demonstrated in the Ne-like system. An order-of-magnitude increase in gain in the Ni-like experiments was determined.

This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of column formation mechanisms in Al2O3–TiC ceramics micromachined using excimer lasers. Chemical and structural characterization of columns grown in Al2O3–TiC composite processed with 200 KrF laser pulses at 10 J/cm2 was carried out by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction analysis. Fully developed columns consist of a core of unprocessed material surrounded by an outer layer of Al2TiO5, formed in oxidizing conditions, and an inner layer, formed in reducing conditions, composed of TiC and Al3Ti or an AlTi solid solution. Possible mechanisms of column formation are discussed.
