    Abstract
    Metastable states of noble gas atoms are typically produced by electrical discharge techniques or “all-optical” excitation methods. Here we combine electrical discharges with optical pumping to demonstrate “optically enhanced” production of metastable xenon (Xe∗). We experimentally measure large increases in Xe∗ density with relatively small optical control field powers. This technique may have applications in systems where large metastable state densities are desirable.
