Research on Resonant Charge-Exchange X-Ray and Ultraviolet Lasers.

Abstract

This report presents a summary of work carried out on x-ray and far ultra-violet laser research, in which excited states are obtained by charge-exchange between an atom or ion and a fully stripped ion. Schemes investigated include the expansion of plasma produced in a shock-tube and a plasma produced by a laser-target interaction. The laser-produced plasma, intended to produce stimulated emission at 182 A, was the subject of experimental work, with negative results. (Author)
