ABSTRACT
Multipulse irradiation with 100 ps pulses of stripe Germanium targets is shown to enhance by up to several orders - of - magnitude the output of Ne-like Ge lasing on the J=0-1 line at 196 A compared to single pulse pumping. Various pre-pulse and multipulse configurations have been experimentally investigated for irradiances of ~ 4 X1013 W/cm2 with a 1.06 |irn wavelength pumping laser.
