Abstract
Population inversion for transitions in the VUV are predicted theoretically in laser‐produced plasmas. The calculations are based on a time‐dependent model that treats the excitation, ionization, and recombination dynamics of a dense argon plasma. Gains in excess of 103 cm−1 are obtained for the 3s‐3p transition in carbonlike argon XIII for over 1000 psec.Keywords
