1. lasers, excimer Gas lasers with excited dimers (i.e., excimers) as the activemedium. The most commonly used are rare gas monohalides (e.g., argon fluoride, xenon chloride). Their principalemission wavelengths are in the ultravioletrange and depend on the monohalide used (e.g., 193 nm for ArF, 308 nm for Xe Cl). These lasers are operated in pulsed and Q-switched modes and used in photoablative decomposition involving actual removal of tissue. (UMDNS, 2005)
