IV, Colloque 11, no. Pr2 (2001): 571-574.http://hdl.handle.net/10217/67490We report the observation of strong line emission from Ni-like Cd ions in a capillary discharge plasma. Spectroscopically pure Cd vapor was produced in a room temperature environment utilizing a capacitive discharge. The metal vapor was injected into a capillary channel where it was subsequently excited with fast current pulses of up to 200 kA These results open the possibility of observing laser amplification in the 3d94d-394p line of Ni-like Cd at 13.2 nm and in laser lines of other Nickel-like ions in a discharge-created plasma.born digitalarticleseng©2001 EDP Sciences.Copyright and other restrictions may apply.
