The Effect of the Recombination Rates on the Resonance Line Lasers in a Dense Plasma.

Abstract

The resonance transitions in hydrogen-like ions may present a road to short wavelength lasers in a dense decaying plasma. However, the rate of the depletion of the ground state into He-like ions plays an important role, at low temperatures and z > 1, on the inversion density. This difference is found to depend on the rate coefficients utilized.
