The interference stabilization of Rydberg atoms in strong laser fields is proposed for producing a plasma channel with the inverse population. Inversion between a group of Rydberg levels and low-lying excited levels and the ground state permits amplification and lasing in the IR, visible, and VUV frequency ranges. The lasing and light amplification processes in the plasma channel are analyzed using rate equations and the efficiency of this method is compared with that in the usual method for high harmonic generation during rescattering of electrons by a parent ion.
