Abstract :
Simultaneous dual wavelength operation of a commercial-discharge excited rare gas halide excimer laser is reported for the first time. A combined energy output in excess of 20 mJ was obtained for the 193 and 248 nm ArF and KrF

transitions oscillating simultaneously, and also for the 248 and 351 nm KrF and XeF transitions. Analysis indicates that significantly higher dual wavelength energies should be possible.
