Abstract
The XeF(B—X) laser is a bound—bound transition laser among the rare gas halide lasers. The laser kinetics are complicated because of many lasing lines (351.1, 351.2, and 353.2 nm). Most of the previous XeF laser experiments concentrated on efficient long-pulse (1-µs) laser operation at a low excitation rate below 200 kW/cm3.1–3 However, high-excitation-rate pumping of the XeF laser over 1 MW/cm3 using a low-pressure mixture is required from the viewpoint of scaling the laser system.
