Doubly excited autoionizing states in barium of the configuration 6p/sub 3/2/np (n> or =12) are shown to decay preferentially to yield the 6p/sub 1/2/ excited state of Ba/sup +/. The resulting population inversion is used to produce amplified spontaneous emission at 493 and 650 nm corresponding to the 6p/sub 1/2/-6s/sub 1/2/ and 6p/sub 1/2/-5d/sub 3/2/ transitions in Ba/sup +/. This principle of selective autoionization is expected to be applicable to the construction of a new class of ion lasers extending into the vacuum-ultraviolet wavelength region.
