“…Small-signal gains~1-3 %/cm were measured at 2.03 μm in He-Ar-Xe mixtures, with energy efficiencies~2.4 %. Non-saturable losses appeared to be small [64,65]. Lasing was also observed at 2 μm in He-Ar at the lower pump rates of the ACRR.…”

“…This results in approximately 30 W/cm 2 saturation intensity inside the cavity, which is consistent with data given in the literature. 25 With a length of the pumped volume of about 1 cm the gain per unit length was about 1.6%/cm.…”

Thin ͑300 nm͒ SiN x ceramic foils used as entrance window in a transverse geometry for the electron beam allows pressure differentials of several atmospheres with low percentage energy loss in transmission. The 1.73 m XeI (5d͓3/2͔ 1 -6p͓5/2͔ 2 ) infrared laser was used for a first demonstration of this concept. The laser operated between 130 and 650 mbar. A threshold pumping power of 5.3 W and a maximum output power of 6 mW were observed. The system can be scaled to high pumping power ͑ϷMW/cm 3 ͒ and short wavelength.

“…Significant assistance in the preliminary selection and study of active media for NPLs is provided by experiments using other, more accessible and safer sources of ionizing radiation operating at high frequency: high current electron and ion accelerators [77,78], and accelerators with large cross-section beams that have been developed for laser pumping [79]. The kinetics of plasma processes in laser media excited by various types of ionizing radiation (γ radiation, fission fragments, and other products of nuclear reactions, fast electrons, and ions) are practically 9 …”
