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.
