Abstract
Evidence of high gain pumped by recombination has been observed in the 5g-4f transition at 11.1 nn in sodiumlike copper ions with use of a 2 0-J 2-ps Nd:glass laser system. The time- and space-integrated gain co efficient was 8.8 +/- 1.4 cm(-1), indicating a single-transit amplific ation of similar to 60 times. This experiment has shown that 2 ps is t he optimum pulse duration to drive the sodiumlike copper recombination x-ray lasing at 11.1 nm. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
