THEORY OF SHORT-WAVELENGTH LASERS FROM RECOMBINING PLASMA

Jones,W.W., Ali,A.W.: 1975, Applied Physics Letters, 26, 450.

Starting with a plasma of fully stripped ions (arbitrary Z) with an initial temperature and electron density, the set of rate equations governing the population densities of all discrete levels of hydrogenlike ions are solved. The results (population inversion and gain) are presented for a variety of cases, hydrogen through carbon, with emphasis on short-wavelength lasers.
