Conditions favorable for the achievement of population inversion and gain in laser produced plasmas have been reported on previously. However, the required density profiles can be difficult to achieve in conventional laser heated plasmas. We have explored the feasibility of accelerating plasma with a laser, and letting it collide with a solid density (wall) plasma. The density of the resulting shocked plasma can be controlled and refraction can be reduced in this design. A radiation hydrodynamics model is used to simulate the collision of the laser produced plasma with the wall plasma. In addition, the detailed configuration non-equilibrium atomic populations and the radiative response of both the shocked plasma and the wall plasma are calculated.
