    A novel target-alignment method for short-wavelength lasers, specifically for nickel-like molybdenum extreme-ultraviolet lasers, achieves high precision. This new scheme demonstrates alignment capabilities of at least 16 micrometers.

    Area of Science:

    • Laser Physics
    • Optics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Short-wavelength lasers, such as extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) lasers, require precise alignment for optimal performance.
    • Existing alignment schemes may not meet the stringent requirements for advanced laser systems like nickel-like molybdenum (Ni-like Mo) XUV lasers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a simple and novel target-alignment scheme tailored for short-wavelength lasers.
    • To address the specific alignment challenges posed by nickel-like molybdenum extreme-ultraviolet lasers.

    Main Methods:

    • Presentation of the current optical design for the laser system.
    • Development and implementation of a new target-alignment methodology.

    Main Results:
