Abstract

The article presents experimental results demonstrating Xe(L) spectral hole-burning and corresponding saturated amplification on the X^e31+ transition array. Xe(L) single-pulse spontaneous emission spectrum was recorded with a CCD equipped von Hamos mica spectrograph. A spectral comparison of the amplified spectrum with the spontaneous emission profile is also presented.
