Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this research was to develop a temporal and spatial coherent X-ray laser. We employed the oscillator and amplifiler scheme: as the former one the high-order harmonics light was significantly amplified by means of the X-ray parametric amlification, while for the latter the lasing medium was generated by laser plasma itself.
As a result, we successfully amplified the harmonics experimentally and clarify the mechanism of it by numerical simulation based on quantum mechanics. In addition, the ultrashort laser beam was incident onto the Mo target and then the amplitude of stimulated emission lasing oscilattion occured at 18.9 nm wavelength. Thus, the lasing medium for seed harmonic beam amplification was formed with the compact experimental system.
These results indicated that we can realize the full coherent bright X-ray laser by combining two compact laser systems constructed in this research.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

究極のレーザーとも呼ばれるX線レーザーは,物理学,化学,工学,医学,薬学,生命科学分野で革命的な診断・加工ツールを提供できるものとして大きな期待が寄せられてきた.本研究課題は従来,大型装置,時間コヒーレンス,出力の点で実用化の大きな障害となってきたX線レーザー開発を飛躍的に進歩させる新しい技術である.
本研究をさらに進めることにより,大学の研究室レベルで維持可能なフルコヒーレントX線レーザーが実現できれば,X線顕微鏡を用いた生きた精細胞観察や極超高速時間で粒子の運動を捉えたり,機能性材料の物性研究に寄与できる.X線レーザーの社会への波及効果は計り知れない.
