Abstract
Capillary discharge lasers with output at wavelength 46.9 nm offer a route to laboratory investigations of warm dense matter and may have an impact in the micro-ablation of solid samples of relevance to microelectromechanical systems. The commissioning and operation of a capillary discharge laser with 50 μJ output per pulse is presented alongside initial results of target ablation obtained by focusing the laser output. Studies have been undertaken relevant to the operation of the capillary laser. The capillary laser discharges a current pulse of up to 40 kAmps through an argon plasma, which is initially singly ionized via radio-frequency heating.
