Abstract
A carbon layer between a neon layer and a sodium layer serves as a thermal buffer therebetween to enable the neon layer to remain at a lower temperature and density to allow for the generation of coherent x-rays. A high powered laser heats the sodium layer which acts as a flashlamp for direct photon pumping of the neon layer. The neon layer, heated by a lower powered laser, then lases at about 58, 82, and/or 230 angstroms.
