A self-filtering unstable resonator with magnification ZMZ = 5 has beenapplied to a pulsed UV-preionized XeCl excimer laser. In agreement withnumerical results it is experimentally shown that less than two cavity roundtrips are needed to establish a steady state lowest-order mode. Adiffraction-limited laser beam with a brightness of 1.5 /times/ 10/sup 13/ Wcm/sup /minus/2/ Sr/sup /minus/1/ has been obtained.
