Abstract

We report progress in the development of multilayer components for use in multiple pass soft x-ray laser cavities operating in the 100 Angstrom-300 Angstrom spectral range. Our work includes fabrication and characterization of multilayer components; simple resonant cavity design; damage threshold assessment for multilayers in the x-ray laser environment; and multipass cavity experiments for efficiency enhancement and transverse mode selection.
