Abstract
Pulsed laser emission in Xe at 231.5 nm was observed previously.1 Those experiments showed high gain arid indicated the possibility of high-power output from a cw discharge. Continuous lasing on this transition was achieved recently;2 however, the lasing threshold was near the point of discharge instability and output was limited to ~20 mW. With an improved Xe are discharge device we now report 2-W cw output at 231.5 nm.
