X-Ray Lasers 2010Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on X-Ray Lasers, 30 May - 4 June 2010, Gwangju, Korea\nAuthor(s): Jongmin Lee, Chang Hee Nam, Karol A. Janulewicz\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Springer, Netherlands\nImprint: Springer\nISBN-13: 9789402405354, 978-9402405354\nSynopsis\nThis book provides a thorough account of the current status of achievements made in the area of soft X-Ray laser source development and of the increasingly diverse applications being demonstrated using such radiation sources. There is significant effort worldwide to develop very bright, short duration radiation sources in the X-Ray spectral region driven by the multitude of potential applications in all branches of science. This book contains updates on several different approaches for comparative purposes but concentrates on developments in the area of laser-produced plasmas, whereby transient population inversion and gain between ion states is pumped by optical lasers interacting wit.
