Abstract :
Neutral-atom recombination lasers in the vaporized plasmas of 28 different elements are reported. The results, which are consistent with the predictions of a simple model of a plasma-recombination laser, demonstrate the wide applicability of CO2laser-produced plasmas as sources for laser excitation.
