The paper presents results of investigation of sizes of the laser sparks that are generated when exciting the gas-jet targets based on argon, krypton and xenon by impulse radiation of the Nd : YAG-laser with the impulse duration of 4 ns and the impulse energy of 0.8 J. The images of the laser plasma were obtained by means of an X-ray double-mirror microscope with five times magnification, that is based on the Schwarzschild lens, which operates at the wavelength of 11.25 nm. The gas-jet targets were investigated at the nozzle inlet gas pressure of 2-10 bar. The spark length values obtained from the experiment were compared with the theoretically calculated values. Keywords: laser spark, extreme ultraviolet radiation, gas-jet targets.
