"This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grants ECS-9401952 and ECS-9412106, and the U.S. National Research Council." Gain length products up to gl ≈ 14 for the J = 0-1 line of Ne-like Ar at 46.9 nm have been achieved in 15-cm long plasma columns generated by a fast capillary discharge.

The laser line intensity is observed to increase exponentially for plasma lengths of up to 15 cm, above which it is observed to saturate. The saturation behavior is discussed.
