| 20110089834 | Z-PINCH PLASMA GENERATOR AND PLASMA TARGET - A configuration of two opposed electrodes with conical depressions and symmetry around an axis along which there is an applied steady magnetic field, is supplied with a pulsed voltage and current to create an azimuthally very uniform pre-ionization cylinder of a working gas as a precursor to stable and accurate compression of the working gas into a Z-pinch plasma photon source or plasma target for laser-pumped photon sources. A further compound hollow electrode configuration permits the generation of a cool, dense, core plasma surrounded and compressed by a hot liner plasma. Modulation of the radial density profile within this core can provide optical guiding for a laser-pumped recombination laser. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20090212241 | LASER HEATED DISCHARGE PLASMA EUV SOURCE - A self-magnetically confined lithium plasma which also may have an applied axial magnetic field is irradiated at sub-critical density by a carbon dioxide laser to generate extreme ultraviolet photons at the wavelength of 13.5 nm with high efficiency, high power and small source size. | 08-27-2009 |
