Abstract There are two well established pumped schemes of X-ray lasers used in applications. The differences in the plasma kinetics and output of an X-ray laser pumped by a single profiled and double pump laser pulses in the grazing incidence pumping geometry are analysed. The differences caused by the structural features of the irradiating pulses were observed in both the experiment and numerical modelling. It was found that the structure of the profiled pulse is not the optimum one. The possible ways of the performance improvement are analysed by numerical modelling.
