Abstract

The genesis of excimer lasers is reviewed. Contrary to previous retrospectives, the present analysis is restricted only to physics and technics of discharge pumped Rare-Gas Halides (RGH) excimer lasers. Some side factors like politics or human personality, interfering the development of excimer technology, are also discussed.
