Generation of low jitter capillary discharge channels triggered by a relatively low-energy laser pulse is reported. For ablative discharges in polyethylene and boron nitride capillaries, the dependences of the breakdown delay and jitter on the incident laser intensity and discharge voltage are presented. Low jitter (5 ns and less) and the absence of electric noise associated with the discharge ignition make this method very useful for applications such as channel-guided laser-wakefield accelerators and x-ray lasers, where precise synchronization of the discharge with a laser and/or electron beam entering the channel is required.

Abstract:In this review we concentrate our attention on X-ray laser research and development covering the so called soft Xray region (down to ∼ 10 nm) and the "water window" region (down to 2.3 -4.4 nm). We present the development of soft X-ray lasers (SXLs) and their applications using primarily collisional and recombination schemes. We present the paths towards compact systems and major achievements to date. We discuss conditions for using both schemes to reach the "water window" region. In this discussion we also present another possible schemes based on photo-pumping, inner shell transitions in atoms and ions and "Doppler Compression" of IR laser radiation down to the X-ray region with its intrinsic tunability possibility. A significant part of the review is dedicated to the wide range of applications of SXLs with wavelengths at and above 10 nm. Also discussed is the potential of extending the range of biological applications for the "water window" region.Image of wafer with polysilicon lines on silicon (top: 250 nm, bottom: 100 nm widths of lines)

“…The so-called collisional scheme [5] and recombination scheme [6] have been demonstrated using soft X-ray lasing, and each of these schemes has been modified into sub-schemes, such as transient gain generation (see for example [7][8][9]). Recently, grazing incidence pumping [10,11] in the collisional scheme, and generation gain in transitions to ground states of ions pumped by very high intensity fs-lasers [12][13][14] have been demonstrated. These achievements have, in part, been stimulated by the first applications of soft X-ray lasers to soft X-ray microscopy, micro-holography, very high plasma density measurements and their potential applications to semiconductor surface studies, nano-lithography, dynamical response of semiconductors and biological cells, and a number of other applications.…”
