Abstract
By using a pulsed hollow-cathode discharge, metastable atoms are produced in the (23s3p) and (23s3p) levels of Na i. A tunable laser is used to excite these atoms to levels in the 23s3d and 23s4s configurations, and thereby to establish a partial Grotrian diagram for the quartet system. Several possible Na i xuv laser systems are described.
