Abstract
We present an experimental report on the recent observation of lasing at 26.1 and 30.4 nm on the 3p 1 S 0−3s 3 P 1 [termedG((0–1)] and 3p 1 S 0−3s 1 P 1 [termedE(0−1)] transitions in Ne-like V, in which the normally weakG(0−1) transition was observed to lase more strongly than theE(0−1) transition. The experiment was performed on the Asterix IV iodine laser with a prepulse 5.23 ns before the main pulse. At a target length of about 2.5 cm, it was found that, while theG(0−1) andE(0−1) lines have comparable intensities in V, theE(0−1) line dominates spectra from Mn, Cr, Ti and Sc, which have adjacent nuclear charges. It was also found that the two lasers in V also have different temporal histories and spatial distributions. This is in contrast to the LASNEX + XRASER simulation, which predicts virtually similar temporal and spatial behavior for the two transitions.
