Show affiliationsSingle-pulse and time-integrated spectral measurements of the characteristics of the Xe(L) amplifier at λ ~ 2.8 Å indicate an efficiency of energy extraction of ~30% over a bandwidth of ~500 eV. These observations, together with data from prior studies, provide a basis for estimating a corresponding set of scaling limits for a laboratory sized ~4.5 keV Xe(L) system. Specifically, they are a peak power Px ~ 6.0 PW, an unfocused peak intensity Ix ~ 3.4 × 1021 W cm−2, peak brightness figures corresponding to B ~ 4.1 × 1034 photons s−1 mm−2 mrad−2 (0.1% bandwidth)−1 and Px/λ2 ~ 7.6 × 1030 W cm−2 sr−1, and an x-ray pulse length τx ~ 5–10 as.
