Abstract
Recent experiments using high current capacitor discharges have produced high power laser action in multiply ionized xenon. Strongest oscillation was found on five simultaneous transitions in the green. These lines had a total peak power of 1.4 kW. In addition, streak camera pictures have shown that the onset of laser action begins and is sustained during the interval of time when the plasma is being compressed (``pinched'') by its self‐electromagnetic forces.Keywords
