We have been developing a laser-Compton X-ray source using optical enhancement cavity. We have studied 1um pulse laser storage in optical cavity and use for the experiments. Usage of 10um laser for optical enhancement cavity will increase the X-ray energy region of one laser-Compton X-ray source, so that we decided to develop the optical cavity for CO2 laser. We have designed external optical cavity for CO2 laser commercially available optics and verified the enhancement of CO2 laser in external optical cavity, and measured fundamental parameters such as finesse, matching efficiency, and enhancement factor. We have already achieved 540 of finesse, 43 of enhancement, and tested non-planer cavity, which storages two circular polarization separately. In this conference, we will report the design and experimental results of CO2 laser storage cavity and also some future prospects.

A high-intensity laser is essential for the LPP (Laser Produced Plasma) EUV generation, which is studied as the next generation light source of ultra-fine semiconductor lithography. Nevertheless, there is no way to directly measure the profile of high-intensity laser. Therefore, we have been developing a method for measuring high-intensity laser profile based on the laser-Compton scattering using a Cs-Te photo cathode RF-Gun at Waseda University. In this diagnostic technique, laser profile is obtained by scanning the extremely-focused electron beam, which is about 10μm by solenoid lens. We have obtained the 10μm beam size by solenoid lens using tracking code GPT (General Particle Tracer) by optimizing the beam parameter and lens shape. Recently, we have installed solenoid lens and generated focused beam. The focused beam size was evaluated by using radiochromic film called GAFCHROMIC dosimetry film type HD-810. In this conference, we will report the results of GPT simulations, beam size measurements and future prospects.
