Excimer lasers are powerful sources of radiation in the UV, providing several laser lines between 157 and 353 nm. The excimer laser transition is bound-free, and thus the emitted wavelengths are broad-band (up to 200 cm−1). In addition the high gain (0.15 cm−1) of the laser gas causes a rather large divergence (>1 mrad) in conventional excimer lasers.
