Abstract
We present a model of dense sodium vapour ionization induced by nanosecond resonant laser pulses exciting the 3S → 4P transition. The results of calculations are compared with those obtained by means of a similar model for the case of 3S → 3P excitation. The possibility of population inversion formation between excited sodium levels is also discussed.
