Abstract
The driver and target parameters required to extend the successful results from an exploding foil Ne‐like‐Se soft x‐ray laser at 206 Å towards wavelengths of 40 Å are investigated. The power requirements are found to scale as λ−4, which is quite costly. The principal constraint is the refraction of the x‐ray laser beam in these high density, single pass, exploding foil targets. Correcting mirrors or nonrefracting target designs could reduce this costly scaling.Keywords
