Amplification in the 32.6 nm line of Ne-like Ti generates laser pulses of subpicosecond duration that are measured to approach full spatial coherence. The peak spectral brightness is estimated to be ~2 × 1026 photons/(s mm2 mrad2 0:01% bandwidth). The scheme is scalable to produce extremely bright lasers at very short wavelengths with full temporal and spatial coherence.born digitalarticleseng©2006 American Physical Society.Copyright and other restrictions may apply.
