We have examined the performance of a 2-liter KrF oscillator pumped by a high-intensity electron beam. For input pump rates of 7 MW/cm/sup 3/, up to 80 J of laser energy is extracted from the cavity in 50 ns with an efficiency (laser energy divided by deposited electron-beam energy) of 11%. Values of the small-signal-gain length product g/sub 0/L, the absorption length product ..cap alpha..L, and the saturation intensity I/sub s/ were determined to be 6--16, 0.3--0.6, and 1--10 MW/cm/sup 2/, respectively.
