Abstract
We recently demonstrated a new class of XUV lasers in which an intense circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulse is used to tunnel ionize a gaseous target species while simultaneously producing the hot electrons necessary to collisionally excite the species.1 The first specific systems collisionally excited in this way were proposed by Lemoff et al.,2 who gave calculations for lasing in Ar IX(Ne-like), Kr IX(Ni-like), and Xe IX(Pd-like).
