ABSTRACT:
An X-ray laser comprises a single crystal in the form of a thin film with an oriented set of prominent atomic planes so that when the crystal is pumped, X-ray photons which are emitted from one of the atomic constituents of the crystal, experience internal feedback (Bragg scattering) from the atomic planes thereby eliminating the need for external feedback. In addition the crystal functions as a thin planar waveguide confining the X-ray waves therein, thereby reducing the necessary pumping power and increasing overall efficiency.
