Abstract
In a method and an apparatus for generating a hot plasma which emits elecmagnetic radiation in the wavelength range below about 100 nm in a predetermined volume, in which a laser radiation pulse of short duration with sufficient energy and power density is focused into the volume containing a target material, the laser radiation energy which is necessary for generating the plasma emitting the radiation is radiated into the target volume by a focused laser radiation pulse which is shorter than one picosecond. The method may be used in ASE X-ray laser comprising an axicon focusing optics.
