Abstract Soft x-rays from a laser-produced plasma were used to perform innershell photoionization of Cd atoms and to generate laser radiation at 442 nm. To achieve longer interaction zones between the Cd vapor and the soft x-ray flux, up to three plasma spots have been applied. In this way a maximum laser energy of 300 μJ with a 600 mJ Nd:YAG laser for the plasma production was achieved. Experimental investigations and corresponding rate-equation calculations indicate, that photoelectrons play an important role in the total laser kinetics.
