Abstract
An X-ray lasing oscillator is being developed which uses visible laser irradiation of solid targets in multipulse, multipass, operation to produce dramatic, rather than incremental, improvement in almost any X-ray lasing scheme. Hydrodynamic code simulations indicate reproducible plasma conditions are possible with multiple pulses, while ray trace simulations define mirror cavity configurations in a refracting carbon plasma under multipass operation.
