Maximum theoretical efficiency of lasers utilizing d–p transitions in heavy rare-gas atoms

B. M. Berkeliev, V. A. Dolgikh, I. G. Rudoĭ, A. M. Soroka

Abstract: It is shown that the efficiency of near-infrared lasers utilizing d–p transitions in heavy rare-gas atoms pumped by ionizing radiation may exceed substantially the "quantum" value.
