  • Xenon bromide (XeBr) excimer laser
    Patent number: 4143336
    Abstract: A Xenon Bromide (XeBr) excimer laser is made by electron beam excitation over a range of from 10-3000 torr xenon with 0.5-4% Br.sub.2. Xe* generated by a high-energy electron beam reacts with Br.sub.2 to produce XeBr* which undergoes a bound-free transition resulting in stimulated emission on the transition XeBr*.fwdarw.Xe + Br + hv (230-360 nm) where* represents a low lying electronically excited state.
