Abstract
This article reviews ultraviolet laser results obtained with positive column noble gas ion lasers, hollow cathode metal vapor ion lasers, pulsed recombination lasers, and multiply ionized rare gas species emitting in the VUV region. We also discuss the recent use of direct current electron beams to pump cw ion lasers, and the possibilities of higher efficiency and shorter wavelength ultraviolet lasers using this new excitation scheme.
