Abstract
An X-ray laser generating apparatus comprises a laser oscillator for generating a pulse laser beam, a pulse train converter for converting the pulse laser beam into a pulse train laser beam, an optical device for focusing the pulse train laser beam to a thin line, a target material placed at the laser beam focused position and generating high temperature plasma containing highly charged ions with irradiation of the linearly focused pulse train laser beam, a vacuum chamber for keeping a vicinity of the irradiated region of the target material under a decompressed state, and a pair of X-ray reflecting mirrors positioned on both sides of the target material and on the extended thin line, and at least one of the paired mirrors partially transmits X-ray.
