The distance over which the charge state distribution evolves during the expansion of laser produced Sn plasma in vacuum is investigated experimentally. This distance is found to be less than 6 cm with a planar target irradiated by a 1.064  µm laser at 8.3×1011  W/cm2 but greater than 60 cm when a 10.6  µm laser at 2.5×1010  W/cm2 is used. The difference is attributed to the laser wavelength dependence of the coronal electron density and the subsequent recombination processes during expansion. Important implications to the extreme ultraviolet x-ray source application are discussed specifically. ©2010 American Institute of Physics
