Abstract: Time-resolved XeF C-A fluorescence and gain-loss studies are conducted in an avalanche discharge using arc-type UV preionization in a variety of devices that deliver peak powers from 1 to 13 MW/cm3 in time intervals from 10 to 30 ns. The results coupled with extensive fluorescence measurements give indications about the possibility of developing a successful XeF C-A transition avalanche discharge laser.
