Abstract
Thin molybdenum coated foils have been irradiated in line focus geometry with from 3 to 8×1014 W cm−2 of 0.53‐μm light at the Nova laser. The resulting exploding foil plasma has demonstrated x‐ray laser gain at four wavelengths (106.4, 131.0, 132.7, and 139.4 Å), identified as 3s‐3p transitions in neonlike Mo. The J=0–1, a 3s–3p transition at 141.6 Å has been identified, but does not show evidence of significant gain in disagreement with the theory.Keywords
