We have measured laser parameters for reactor pumping of He/Ar/Xe gas mixtures lasing predominantly at 2.03 ..mu..m and Ar/Xe mixtures lasing predominantly at 1.73 ..mu..m. Gains as high as /similar to/3%/cm have been measured in He/Ar/Xe at pump powers of /similar to/200 W/cm/sup 3/ . Both systems exhibit small distributed losses. Intrinsic laser energy efficiencies as high as 2.4% (3.0%) have been observed for He/Ar/Xe (Ar/Xe). These efficiencies are the highest reported for reactor-pumped lasers.
