title: Proposal for an extreme-ultraviolet selective autoionization laser in Zn III.
abstract: A system is proposed whereby Zn atoms that are photoionized by soft x rays from a laser-produced plasma undergo selective super-Coster-Kronig decay leading to inversion and lasing on several XUV Zn III transitions. Calculations indicate that lasing will occur when a moderate-sized (~10-J) 1.06-microm pump laser is used.
