Spectral Properties of Collisional Xuv Lasers for the Amplification of Femtosecond Pulses
Résumé
We discuss the role of the spectral properties of XUV lasers in the amplification of femtosecond pulses in two different regimes. We present an overview of our recent spectral characterization of the four types of collisionally-pumped systems, also including other measurements from the literature. This is used to assess the potential of the different types of XUV lasers to amplify femtosecond pulses, either in the adiabatic or in the dynamic regime.
