X-Ray Lasers 1994 Fourth International Colloquium: Proceedings of the Conference held in Williamsburg, VA, May 1994David C. Elder, Dennis L. Matthews Annotation The proceedings of the May 1994 colloquium review the progress in the development of x-ray lasers and their applications. The colloquium marked the 10th anniversary of the initial demonstration of x-ray lasing and this collection of papers shows the progress that has been made in these last ten years. Among the topics are improvement in efficiency and coherence of collisional excitation x-ray lasers; theory of recombination x-ray lasers based on optical-field ionization; coupling between remote plasmas in an "injector-amplifier" XUV laser system; and a linearly polarized soft x-ray laser.
