An excimer laser is described with a gain volume of 20 cm/sup 3/ and capable of repetition rates on the order of 10 Hz using a simple pulse-charge circuit and gas flow loop. With gas mixtures typical of the XeCl species, maximum single-pulse output energies of 15 mJ are obtained at charge voltages of 30 kV and run times are on the order of hours for a single gas fill.
