title: High-gain inner-shell photoionization laser in Cd vapor pumped by soft-x-ray radiation from a laser-produced plasma source.
abstract: A soft-x-ray-pumped inner-shell photoionization laser has been produced in Cd vapor at 4416 and 3250 A. A gain of 5.6 cm(-1) has been measured at 4416 A, and a reasonably high-energy storage of 0.2 mJ/cm(3) in the upper laser states has been obtained.
