Abstract
In this article, a 1 ns excimer laser pulse was obtained successfully from an ultraviolet preionized XeCl laser using a direct wave-clipping technique with some improvements over the conventional scheme in consideration of obtaining more suitable discharge and steeper front edge of original light pulse. The effects of laser operation stability and optical setup of the experiment scheme on output characteristics are discussed.Keywords
