Spontaneous and stimulated emission of an electron in the ion channel is studied. The emission processes are studied in the regime of high harmonic generation when the parameter of plasma wiggler strength is large. Like for conventional free electron laser, a synchrotron-like broadband spectrum is generated in this regime. The asymptotic expression for the radiation spectrum of the spontaneous emission is derived. The radiation spectrum emitted from axisymmetric monoenergetic electron beam is analyzed. The gain of ion-channel synchrotron-radiation laser is calculated. Use of laser-produced ion channel for efficient X-ray generation is discussed.
