Up to date, shorter wavelength laser studies by recombining plasma methods
have concentrated on hydrogen-like ions. We are investigating recombination
lasing of lithium-like carbon ions. There is a possibility that Li-like ions
will oscillate with higher efficiency than hydrogen-like ions. The ionization
potential of C4+, which is a helium-like ion, is about 6 times that of C3+
and so, the situation for C3+ is very similar to that for a hydrogen-like
ion. Consequently, when carbon atoms are strongly ionized, it should be easy
to ensure that C4+ is the dominant ion species. This should lead to a higher
production efficiency of population inversion in C IV by recombination
processes.
