A high power XeCl and KrF excimer lasers pumped by an intense relativistic electron beam have been developed. The pump power density ranges between 1.5 to 2.0 MW/cm{sup 3}. The maximum output energy of 136J with the peak power of 1.5GW is obtained for the XeCl laser. In KrF laser case, the maximum output energy is 157J and the peak power 2.0GW. The UV laser interaction with some materials has been studied by this excimer laser.
