Abstract
Generation of ultrashort light pulses in a XeCl excimer laser by fast mode locking using an electrooptical deflector is investigated numeric ally. The influence of parameters characterizing the deflector as well as the gain, static losses, and pumping time of the laser on duration and power of the pulses generated is analysed in detail. We have foun d that in a XeCl laser, like in a KrF laser, using the method consider ed, it is possible to produce pulses of duration < 10(-11) s at the la ser pumping time not exceeding 50-100 ns.
