Observation of super Coster-Kronig-pumped gain in Zn III.

چکیده
We report the observation of laser gain in the vacuum ultraviolet pumped by super Coster-Kronig decay. Using a 5-J, 300-psec pump pulse of 1064-nm radiation, we have observed gain on transitions in Zn III at 127.0, 130.6, and 131.9 nm with total gains of exp(2.4), exp(5.1), and exp(3.2), respectively. The large branching ratios of the rapid super Coster-Kronig decay into a small number of final levels makes high-efficiency operation possible.

Proposal for an extreme-ultraviolet selective autoionization laser in Zn III.
A system is proposed whereby Zn atoms that are photoionized by soft x rays from a laser-produced plasma undergo selective super-Coster-Kronig decay leading to inversion and lasing on several XUV Zn III transitions. Calculations indicate that lasing will occur when a moderate-sized (~10-J) 1.06-microm pump laser is used.

متن کاملA model of atomic vacancy-cascade for nuclear science
Unstable atomic nuclei release excess energy through various radioactive decay processes. In some cases, including internal conversion and electron capture, the atom remains ionised after the nuclear decay event. Atomic relaxation back to the ground state occurs rapidly via radiative and non-radiative processes, often referred to collectively as atomic radiations. Non-radiative processes includ...

متن کاملSatellite lines in the 5s-5p photoelectron spectrum of xenon
2014 ACO synchrotron radiation has been used to obtain photoelectron spectra of the outer shell of xenon in the 75-100 electron volts energy range. Satellite peaks corresponding to the formation of excited ionic states have been observed, in addition to the main peaks corresponding to the production of the 5s2 5p5 2P and 5s 5p6 2S states of Xe+. A comparison is presented of the intensities of t...
