Inner-shell soft X-ray lasers in Ne-like ions driven by optical field ionization

A novel short-wavelength laser based upon monopole excitation of inner-shell electrons in Ne-like ions following optical field ionization with circularly polarized radiation is discussed. Calculations of the small-signal gain are presented for one such ion, Ne-like Ar, for which a small-signal gain...

description A novel short-wavelength laser based upon monopole excitation of inner-shell electrons in Ne-like ions following optical field ionization with circularly polarized radiation is discussed. Calculations of the small-signal gain are presented for one such ion, Ne-like Ar, for which a small-signal gain of 13.7 cm-1 is predicted on the 2s → 2p hole transition at 15.8 nm for an Ar pressure of 50 mbar. Extensions of this approach to other inner-shell transitions are suggested. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
