We have studied the optimized emission from high power and/or high brightness sources based on unresolved transition array (UTA) emis- sion. The peak UTA wavelengths follow a quasi-Moseley’s law for the laser wavelength of 1064 nm and λ = 165.8 × R^−1(Z − 12.44)−1.94 ∞ nm for the laser wavelength of 532 nm, respectively. The photon flux decreased with increasing atomic number. We also mapped the optimum electron temperatures and corre- sponding charge states required to produce strong soft x-ray UTA emis- sion with a photon flux of the order of 10^14 photons/nm · sr. The present quasi-Moseley’s law is sufficient for identifying the optimum element for numerous applications, such as material ablation and ionization, nano- lithography, and in vivo biological imaging.}, title = {Optimized highly charged ion production for strong soft x-ray sources obeying a quasi-Moseley’s law}, volume = {9}, year = {2019} }
