Solid neon sources for plasmas and x-ray lasers

Abstract
A thin layer of frozen neon is condensed onto a cryogenically cooled substrate for use in generating a neon plasma for x-ray laser research. The freezing process and quasiequilibrium state of the layer are discussed. Spectral purity of a neon plasma formed by laser irradiation has been demonstrated. Control of the layer thinness is possible.
