Cryogenic rare-gas halide solutions, excited optically with radiation at 351, 248 and 193 nm, exhibit fluorescence bands corresponding to rare-gas halide dimer and trimer species. For liquid Ar, Kr, and Xe hosts, these emissions display a systematic trend of wavelength shifts and state lifetimes. Due to their strong dipolar character, these excimers radiate in the liquid at wavelengths which are considerably red shifted/sup 1/ with respect to the gas phase values, interaction. In the case of XeF, stimulated emission has been observed on the B1/2..-->..X1/2 transition at 404 nm. Energies of --110 ..mu..J have been measured in 5 nsec pulses.
