摘要：

We report the first demonstration of saturation in nickel-like x-ray lasers, specifically nickel-like Ag, In, Sn, and Sm x-ray lasers at wavelengths of 14, 12.6, 12.0 and 7.3 nm respectively. These x-ray lasers were found to be very monochromatic xray sources with the laser lines completely dominating the output spectra. Using high-resolution spatial imaging and angularly resolved streaking techniques, the output source sizes as well as the time histories, divergences, energies and spatial profiles of these x-ray lasers have been fully characterised. The output intensities of these x-ray lasers were measured to be in the range of 0.7 - 2 x 10(11) W . cm(-2) in similar to 40 ps. The high monochromaticity, narrow divergence, short pulse duration, high efficiency and high brightness of these x-ray lasers make them ideal candidates for many applications.
