Inversion of the populations of the n = 5,4, and 3 levels of hydrogen-like F IX ions in a recombining laser plasma was studied. The calculated values of the gain were 10/sup -2/--10/sup -1/ cm/sup -1/ and these agreed with estimates based on measurements of the absolute intensities of the spectral lines representing spontaneous emission. Geometry of expansion of a plasma jet was studied.
