Pa. Norreys et al., MEASUREMENT OF THE PHOTO-PUMP STRENGTH OF THE 3D-5F TRANSITIONS IN THE AUTOMATICALLY LINE MATCHED NI-LIKE SM PHOTOPUMPED X-RAY LASER, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 26(20), 1993, pp. 3693-3699
The photo-pump strengths of both the ((3 (d) over bar(4))(0)(3d(6))(0)
)(0)-(((3 (d) over bar(3))(3/2)(3d(6))(0))(3/2)(5 (f) over bar)(5/2))(
1) and the ((3 (d) over bar(4))(0)(3d(6))0)0-(((3 (d) over bar(4))(0)(
3d(5))(5/2))(5/2)(5f)(7/2))(1) transitions in Ni-like Sm34+ have been
measured to be 2.0 x 10(-4) and 2.4 x 10(-4) photons/mode respectively
. The implications of the measurement are briefly discussed in a compa
rison of the merits of automatically line matched photo-pump scheme to
those of the collisional excitation Ni-like Sm+34 scheme.
