Magnetoelectric confinement and stabilization of the plasma column in a soft-x-ray Ar(+8) laser, which is excited by a capillary Z pinch, via the combined magnetic and electric fields of the gliding surface discharge is experimentally demonstrated. Unlike soft-x-ray lasers excited by the conventional capillary Z pinches, the magnetoelectric confinement and stabilization of plasma do provide the laser operation without using any external preionization circuit.
实验证明，在软 X 射线 Ar(+8)激光中，通过滑行表面放电的组合磁场和电场实现了对等离子体柱的磁电约束和稳定，该激光由毛细管 Z pinch 激发。与传统毛细管 Z pinch 激发的软 X 射线激光不同，磁电约束和稳定等离子体的作用为激光运转提供了保障，而无需使用任何外部预电离电路。
