Proof of the Feasibility of Coherent and Incoherent Schemes for Pumping a Gamma-Ray Laser
Abstract
This report continues to focus upon our approach that is the nuclear analog to the ruby laser. It embodies the simplest concepts for a gamma-ray laser and not surprisingly, the greatest rate of achievement in the quest for a subAngstrom laser continues in that direction. For ruby the identification and exploitation of a band width funnel were the critical keys in the development of the first laser. There was a broad absorption band linked through efficient cascading to the narrow laser level.
