Laser sources generating sub-nm radiation, using recoilless nuclear transitions in solids, have been proposed for years. This review examines, from the standpoint of kinetics, many solutions (viz., narrowed line, explosive neutron pump, two-stage pump, two-step pump) that have been proposed for the basic problem: that pumping can inhibit or destroy the Moessbauer and Borrmann effects, which are essential for gain. 4 refs.
