Abstract

X-ray generation by stimulated emission of radiation is achieved from an ensemble of energized atoms with inner-shell vacancies, which ensemble of atoms is obtained in one example by the interaction of a beam swept at approximately the speed of light along the length of an extended interactant material providing an active region moving in synchronization with a resonant X-ray pulse traveling along the material.
