Nitrogen ions pumped by intense femtosecond laser pulses present an optical gain at 391.4 nm, evident by energy amplification of an injected resonant seeding pulse. We report a time-resolved measurement of the amplification process with seeding pulses having varying intensities. It is found that the...
