Abstract

An extensive investigation has been under way to assess the feasibility of using dense plasma foci (DPFs) as indirect and direct excitation light sources to create laser activity in various materials. In the indirect case the DPF is used as an intense source of optical radiation to pump photolytically a laser medium. The direct case involves using the immediate working gas in the DPF as the laser medium.
