Abstract
A discussion of the general requirements of conditions necessary to generate high gain in expansion cooled recombination lasers will be given. Numerical modelling allows scaling laws for the conditions of optimum gain to be derived, and hence matched to plasma generated from laser heated carbon fibres. Comparison between experiment and theory is good. These scaling relations may be used to optimise gain. Generalisation of this approach using foils and composite target allows a range of wavelengths to be generated.
