Photopumping of a C III ultraviolet laser by Mn VI line radiation

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Multiple-pass gain is reported at 2177 and 2163 A in C III ions in a vacuum-arc discharge, pumped by Mn VI line radiation from a laser-produced Mn plasma. These Be-like uv lasers pumped by resonant photoexcitation are prototypes for soft x-ray lasers in higher-Z, isoelectronic analogs.
