AUTOIONIZATION FOR LOWER-LEVEL DE-TRAPPING IN X-RAY LASERS
R.C. ELTONU.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC 20375-5000, U.S.A.
Abstract
A novel type of x-ray laser is analyzed in which the population of the lower level is depleted by autoionization instead of spontaneous decay. The intention is to decrease radiative trapping effects that quench the gain and require microscopic plasmas. Two sample systems are described. Proof-of-principle atomic-physics experiments and numerical modeling are needed to verify feasibility, fluorescence and lasing.
