Abstract
The use of optical-field-induced ionization (OFI) for the production of a x-ray laser plasma medium introduces some favorable characteristics. First, it is possible to produce population inversions with respect to the ground state of an ion. Second, the use of ultrashort pulses requires lower pump energy, compared with conventional x-ray laser schemes.
