Some observational results on the XeCl excimer B..-->..X fluorescence and laser emissions from dilute Ne/Xe/HCl mixtures in a very small volume (approx.1 cm/sup 3/) pulsed avalanche discharge of approx.200-ns duration at high current densities (0.6< j<1.8 kA/cm/sup 2/) and at high gas pressures (2< p<11 atm) are presented. With increasing j, p, and Ne dilution, the fluorescence pulse duration becomes more and restricted but the laser peak power continues to show an upward trend until proughly-equal8 atm. In spite of the short pulse and low extraction efficiency, laser peak power of up to approx.10 kW has been observed from the approx.1-cm/sup 3/ volume discharge.
