Popis: Laser plasmas have been produced using a xenon gas jet as a target and a pre/main pulse heating scheme in which the two laser foci are separated in space. Extreme ultraviolet intensities around 13.5 nm and in the range 5–20 nm have been recorded, and an up to five fold increase in intensity has been measured. The gain in intensity is explained by the interaction of the shock wave produced by the pre-pulse with the xenon in the focus of the main pulse.
