“…For the radiation of the above range, all matters, including the atmosphere, are highly absorbing. But this property of EUV radiation represents considerable interest for some applications, for example, for micro-and nanotechnologies in microelectronics, thin film physics, chemistry and biology [16,17].…”

The results of studies of the soft x-ray and extreme ultraviolet (SXR/EUV) radiation of thin flat aluminum foils and wires under the explosion in an electric discharge on the compact high-current KING generator are presented. These studies were based on the SXR/EUV spectroscopy with a spectral resolution of 6 Å, a temporal resolution of 5 ns and a spatial resolution of 200 μm. To study the plasma radiation of exploded foils and wires in the SXR/EUV range, we used a transmission diffraction grating spectrograph which in combination with two additional slits provided spectral and spatial resolution. The spectrograph was coupled with a four-frame recorder based on a microchannel plate for providing temporal resolution. The analysis and comparison of the spectral, spatial, temporal, and energy characteristics of the SXR/EUV radiation of plasma formed under the explosion of foils and wires of a similar mass made of aluminum was carried out. The spectra were calculated as well and the plasma parameters and their changes in time and space were estimated on the basis of these calculations and comparison with relevant experimental results. Experiments have shown that when foils explode, a single intense source of SXR/EUV radiation is formed with radiated energy in the range of 10-20 J and a power of up to 100 MW in the quantum energy range from 30 to 250 eV. At the same time, the radiation power under the explosion of foils turned out to be about twice above the power under the explosion of wires of comparable mass.

“…The main method for obtaining ultrashort pulses in the UV range is based on combining a picosecond generator of UV radiation with an excimer amplifier [7]. The first paper on the amplification of picosecond pulses from the master dye laser using an excimer XeCl laser was published in 1980 [8].…”

The scheme generating UV pulses with a duration 15 ps and output energy up to 11.5 mJ is implemented in the system consisting of a picosecond Nd 3+ : YAG laser with multistage nonlinearoptical conversion of fundamental frequency radiation into radiation with a wavelength 193 nm followed by an excimer ArF amplifier. The temporal characteristics and the contrast of the amplified pulses are measured.

This letter presents an experimental study of vacuum-ultraviolet luminescence from low-energy electron-excited liquid xenon. Our experimental results provide strong support for the theory by [E. B. Gordon, V. V. Khmelenko and O. S. Rzhevskii, Chem. Phys. Lett. 217, 605 (1994)] which considers the rare-gas-atom excitations to be the main reason for the electron drift-velocity saturation occurring at high-electric fields in the condensed rare gases. Furthermore, our results prove the existence of hot electrons in liquid xenon and show that electron-excited liquid xenon could serve as the active medium for a novel type of excimer laser as proposed by [E. B. Gordon, O. S. Rzhevsky, and V. V. Khmelenko, Quantum Electron. 24, 227 (1994)].
