“…For practical EUV source development, it is important to establish the optimum plasma condition related to laser irradiation condition and construct a database of properties of the UTA plasma EUV sources. In addition, to compare with one-dimensional (1D) numerical simulation, it is important to produce 1D expansion plasmas by irradiating multiple laser beams based on the laser inertial confinement fusion (ICF) geometry [18]. Laboratory-scale experiments have, to date, only been studied under 2D conditions due to the use of a single laser beam and small focal spot diameters.…”

We demonstrate extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft x-ray sources in the 2-to 7 -nm spectral region related to the beyond extreme ultraviolet (BEUV) question at 6.x nm and a water window source based on laser-produced high-Z plasmas. Strong emissions from multiply charged ions merge to produce intense unresolved transition array (UTA) toward extending below the carbon K-edge (4.37 nm). An outline of a microscope design for single-shot live-cell imaging is proposed based on a high-Z UTA plasma source, coupled to x-ray optics. We will discuss the progress and Z-scaling of UTA emission spectra to achieve lab-scale table-top, efficient, high-brightness high-Z plasma EUV-soft x-ray sources for in vivo bio-imaging applications.

“…Since phosphate glass can contain transition-metal or rare-earth (RE) cations at a higher concentration than other oxide glasses, it has been used for functional oxide glasses containing such ionic species, for example, Nd-doped laser media [1,2]. Furthermore, phosphate glasses are important from the viewpoint of practical industrial applications, because the glass can possess a lower glass transition temperature (T g ) than conventional silicate and borate glasses [3,4].…”
