Abstract
Laser emission has been observed from XeF on the C (3/2) →A (3/2) transition at 486 nm with a spectral bandwidth of 12 nm. A peak laser power of 5 kW was obtained from Ar/Xe/NF3 mixtures in the ratio of 600 : 2 : 1 at total pressures of 350–800 kPa excited by 1‐MeV 20‐kA electron‐beam pulses of 8‐ns duration. Lasing can also occur on the usual B (1/2) →X (1/2) transition at 353 nm with an appropriate set of cavity reflectors under the same operating conditions.Keywords
