Abstract
Vacuum ultraviolet emission from high-pressure Xe gas under excitation by a pulsed electron beam has been investigated. When cavity mirrors were provided, significant line narrowing and a thousandfold increase in spectral intensity occurred at 1730 ± 10 Å. This was accompanied by severe mirror burning and provides strong evidence that an associative molecular Xe laser has been achieved.
