Extended plasma source for short-wavelength amplifiers.
An elongated plasma of length approximately 8 mm with an aspect ratio of ~6:1 has been formed by channeling a laser-produced plasma created in a point focus on a carbon surface. Densities of C(6+) ions near 10(16) cm(-3) were observed in a contracted region beyond the guiding channel, suggesting a use for short-wavelength amplification.
