Abstract
We present a theoretical investigation on the influence of ion temperature with cross-relaxation (CR) effects upon a collisionally pumped, optical-field-ionized (OFI) soft-X-ray laser (SXRL). Our results indicate that ion heating can induce a significant modification of the SXRL energy. However, whereas the CR rate is large in an OFI plasma, its contribution on the SXRL energy is found to be small.
