Active mode locking of a UV preionized transverse discharge XeCl laser has been achieved by modulating the gain using an intracavity Pockel's cell. The output was 100% modulated, and pulses as short as approx.310 ps were measured. Generation of shorter pulses by the same method is discussed briefly.
