Abstract
Extensive measurements on gain in the XeF(C ➙ A) transition for a variety of discharge devices have been undertaken. We report on the temporal correlations between measured gain and power deposition. The behavior of gain vs peak power deposition and the gain length product vs total energy deposited for devices with power deposition levels from 1 to 13 MW/ cm3 are given for a variety of gas mixtures. The gain length product is defined here as the peak gain times the FWHM gain duration times the velocity of light.
