ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system for generating extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation. The process utilizes pulsed plasmas to create a high density of ions in which non-linear frequency upconversion into the XUV region can occur. In particular, metals are utilized as the lasing medium in the present invention, since the ions of these metals do not absorb wavelengths in the XUV region and a significant level of XUV output may be obtained. Conventional UV lasers are utilized as the upconverters for the ionized metals.
