Experimental results are reported for an excimer laser with a new type of discharge chamber containing two active gas cells. The energy and time characteristics are presented for an XeCl laser and the composition of the gas mixture is discussed. Each of the gas cells emits pulses of energy 0.3 J and length 30 ns and can be filled with various gas mixtures. Preliminary results are reported for a laser with a high pulse repetition rate. An average output power of 1.5 W was reached for an XeCl laser operating at a pulse rate of 50 Hz.
