Abstract
Planer stripe and foil targets coated with NaF were irradiated with high intensity 351 nm laser radiation of 130 ps duration. Time-integrated as well as time-resolved measurement of gain on NaXIHα at 54.2Å were made. A time-integrated gain of 1.2 +0.8−1.1 cm−1 and a time-resolved peak gain of 3.2±1.0 cm−1 were obtained. A detailed account of the experimental procedures for determination of gain is given.
