Abstract
Two new types of lasers, using electron-ion recombination as a pumping mechanism, are described. The first, a segmented-plasma-excitation-recombination (SPER) laser, is simple to construct and provides ultraviolet, visible and infrared laser output from many metal vapors. The second, an annular recombination laser, promises efficiencies of 5% in the near infrared in several species.
