Advances in dense plasma interferometry with a tabletop capillary discharge soft x-ray laser
We report an extension of previous table-top soft x-ray laser interferometry work to plasma densities approaching the critical density. The evolution of line-focus and spot-focus plasmas created with Nd-YAG laser intensities of 0.1 and 7.0 TW/cm2 respectively were studied utilizing a 46.9 nm capilla...
