Abstract
A near coincidence between lines of two molybdenum ions at 13.650 nm creates conditions that satisfy requirements for producing a short-wavelength photopumped laser in a plasma containing ions of Mo6+. The scheme is based on the use of radiation from the transition of galliumlike Mo11+ to pump the 4s24p6 1S0–4s24p56s 1/2[1/2]1 transition of kryptonlike Mo6+. The Mo6+ ion would then lase through several possible 4s24p55p–4s24p56s transitions near 60 nm.
