Abstract
Intense line radiation from plasmas of Mn VI, P IX, Al V, Al VIII, Al IX, and Al XI may be used to selectively pump population inversions in plasmas of C III, N IV, F VI, Ne VII, Na VIII, and Mg IX. Quasi-cw lasing is possible on 4p–3d and 4f–3d transitions at wavelengths 2177 –230 Å. At the extreme ultraviolet wavelengths, 1-J, 10-ns laser output pulses at 108 W power levels are shown possible with existing discharge and laser technology.Keywords
