Abstract
We observed a small-signal gain of emission at 126 nm by use of a hollow fiber to guide the high-intensity laser propagation in high-pressure Ar. The small-signal gain coefficient was measured to be at 126 nm. Kinetic analysis revealed that the electrons produced by the high-intensity laser through an optical-field-induced ionization process initiated the production processes. The increase in the emission intensity was measured to be exp(2.5), with an increase in the fiber length.
