Experimental results of a Blumlein-discharge-excited XeCl laser are reported in this letter. The maximum output pulse energy was over 400 mJ. The overall efficiency and specific output energy were 1.7% and 5 Jl, respectively. Experiments have shown that the lasing spectrum of XeCl varied with the total pressure. With a total pressure of 500 Torr, 108 discrete laser lines including two new vibrational bands, (0,4) and (1.7), were obtained. The effects of the partial pressure of Xe, the Blumlein charging voltage, and the total pressure on the output energy were also investigated.
