Absorption by air in the optical cavity of an ArF discharge laser removes the /sup 16/O/sub 2/ Schumann-Runge lines from the broad lasing output centered at 193 nm. Subsequent irradiation of an oxygen cell induces photochemistry of /sup 17/O and /sup 18/O, resulting in isotopically enriched ozone. (AIP)
