A pair of XeCl gain modules was used to amplify 350-fsec 308-nm pulses to approx.10-mJ energies with <1-mJ amplified-stimulated-emission content. Gentle focusing in air of the approx.1.5-mJ beam from the first amplifier alone produces approx.1000-cm broadening of the pulse spectrum by the mechanism of self-phase modulation.
