A high temperature, lead vapor cell for use in stimulated Raman scattering of XeCl laser radiation was designed, manufactured, tested and delivered. Recirculating wick structures were used for metal vapor confinement. During a performance life test, 835 hours of continuous operation was achieved with a lead vapor density > or = 1.6x10 to the 17th power/cc (1270 C equivalent temperature) in an active volume 2.5 cm by about 85 cm.
