Observation of lasing on the two {ital J}=0--1,3{ital p}--3{ital s} transitions at 26.1 and 30.4 nm in neonlike vanadium

We report the first observation to our knowledge of lasing at 26.1 and 30.4 nm in neonlike vanadium ions in a recent experiment conducted on the Asterix IV iodine laser at the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Quantenoptik. The two lasing lines have been identified as the 3{ital p}{sup 1}{ital S}{sub 0}--3{ital s}{sup 3}{ital P}{sub 1} and 3{ital p}{sup 1}{ital S}{sub 0}--3{ital s}{sup 1}{ital P}{sub 1} transitions in neonlike vanadium ions. The transition at 26.1 nm is the first of the 3{ital p}{sup 1}{ital S}{sub 0}--3{ital s}{sup 3}{ital P}{sub 1} transitions in neonlike ions that has been observed to lase, and it was observed to have a higher gain than the other transition. Spatially resolved measurements showed that the lasing for this transition occurs at a position slightly farther from the target surface than for the 3{ital p}{sup 1}{ital S}{sub 0}--3{ital s}{sup 1}{ital P}{sub 1} one.
