Abstract
The presence of impurities in the gas mixture acts as a rule negatively on the output characteristics of the rare-gas halide excimer lasers by disturbing the excimer formation mechanisms or by giving rise to absorption at the lasing wavelengths. Such absorption lines are observed in the broadband emission spectra of XeCl discharge-excited lasers, recorded with a 2-m spectrometer with a theoretical resolution of 8 × 105 (Fig. 1).
