In this paper the operation at a 1 Hz repetition frequency for an injection controlled electron-beam pumped XeF (C {yields} A) excimer laser system is reported. A compact, halogen compatible closed flow loop incorporating a transverse in-line fan was used for gas circulation. An improved output-laser energy of 1.2 J per pulse with an intrinsic efficiency of 1.1% was achieved with a large aperture unstable resonator.
