This letter reports the results of an investigation of HgBr(B2𝒥+→X2𝒥+) laser oscillation at 502 nm in Xe-HgBr2 mixtures excited using an electron-beam-controlled discharge. Measured values of instantaneous electrical-optical energy conversion efficiency were 2%, a level substantially higher than that typical of N2-HgBr2 mixtures. Calculations show that efficiencies of 5–10% may be possible under optimized conditions.
