The locking efficiency and stability of a Lambda Physik EMG150 tunable ArF laser was significantly improved in a simple way. The active gain volume of the oscillator laser was increased by a factor of 5 by replacing the 1-mm circular holes supplied with the original laser by 1 mm x 5 mm rectangular apertures. The resulting rectangular output of the oscillator was condensed with a cylindrical telescope and used for injection locking. The scanning range, locking efficiency, and stability of the laser were significantly improved.
