A gain-length product G×L=17.6 was obtained by heating a precreated plasma with 8 ps duration Ti:sapphirelaser pulses with an energy of only 1 J impinging at a grazing angle of 23°. With an average power of ~1 mW, this laser is an attractive coherent source for at-wavelength metrology of extreme UV lithography optics and other applications.born digitalarticleseng©2005 Optical Society of America.Copyright and other restrictions may apply.
