Stimulated emission in far ultraviolet due to transitions in multiply charged neon-like ions

The possibility of stimulated emission as a result of transitions in multiply charged neon-like ions is considered. The energies of excited terms with the 2p⁵3s, 2p⁵3p, and 2p⁵3d configurations are calculated for ions with Z=4–17. The wavelengths of the expected laser transitions are given for the λ≈250–1600 Å range.
