Abstract
Systems and methods are discussed to create radiation from one or more compact toroids. Compact toroids can be created from plasma of gases within a confinement chamber using a plurality of coils of various densities of windings. High current pulses can be generated within the coil and switched at high frequencies to repeatedly generate compact toroids within the plasma. The plasma can produce radiation at various wavelengths that is focused toward a target or an intermediate focus.
