Abstract
The gas discharge and output radiation parameters were studied in XeCl lasers with various buffer gas compositions (argon vs. neon) and different types of excitation regimes (fast vs. quasi-stationary) in the preionization source. The intervals of specific energy for the neon-and argon-based buffer gas mixtures are 10–125 and 45–360 J/(l atm), respectively. The specific parameters of radiation in the neon-and argon-based buffer gas mixtures depend on the energy required for the UV preionization. For high-power UV preionization sources, the output parameters of lasers using argon-based gas mixtures may exceed those obtained with neonbased mixtures.
