It is demonstrated that excitation systems of the type AIL--1 nitrogen can be applied also to obtain stimulated emission from XeF/sup asterisk/, KrF/sup asterisk/, and XeCl/sup asterisk/ molecules. The dependences of the output radiation energy on the composition and pressure of the mixture and oscillograms of the radiation pulses are given. For discharges in chambers of 100 x 1.8 x 0.3 cm dimensions and the He:Xe:CCl/sub 4/=750:12:1 mixture the output radiation energy was 21 mJ (lambdaapprox. =308 nm) and for the He:Xe:NF/sub 3/=100:1:1 mixture it was 15mJ (lambdaapprox. =350 nm). It was found that the halogen compound CHCl/sub 3/ was a desirable additive to lasers operated in the pulse-periodic regime.
