Abstract :
Several possible schemes for new coherent XUV radiation sources based on collisional energy transfer from rare gas metastables produced in a discharge to quartet states of alkali metal atoms are described. Relevant laser parameters have been analyzed for He-K and Ne-Rb mixtures with possible laser gain up to several cm-1in the 60-80 nm spectral region.
