This paper is reviewing the amplification of XUV radiation at 519.7 and 498.5 Å with a gain-length product of 2.5 and 2.2 for the 4f-3d and 4d-3p transition in an oxygen Z-pinch plasma. Time resolved measurements of the O VI (519.7 Å) transition were performed and the dependence of the line intensity on the discharge current and initial gas pressure is reported.
The mass ablation rate and ablation pressure on laser-irradiated spherical microshells were measured using the space-resolved X-ray spectroscopy. A new method for the study of the ablation by means of the Doppler shifted X-ray images is proposed. The time-resolved measurements of X-ray emission from layered microtargets allow us to determine the heat front penetration through the microshell wall.
