摘要
We report direct measurement of the electromagnetic-field spatial distribution in a neonlike Ar capillary discharge-driven soft x-ray laser beam. The wave front was fully characterized in a single shot using a Shack-Hartmann diffractive optics sensor. The wave front was observed to be dependent on the discharge pressure and capillary length, as a result of beam refraction variations in the capillary plasma. The results predict similar to70% of the laser beam energy can be focused into an area 4 times the size of the diffraction-limited spot, reaching intensities of similar to4x10(13) W/cm (2) .
