Popis:	We report pulsed laser action in neutral xenon in the infrared at a repetition rate of 1.4 kHz, using a transversely excited helium‐xenon discharge. This high prf was made possible by the use of transverse gas flow to remove the residual ions from the discharge region. We have been able to obtain 5.2 W of average power from the 80‐cm‐long closed‐cycle device in which the flow velocity was 30 m/sec. The electrical efficiency observed in this work was 0.12% which is very close to the estimated maximum obtainable. The output spectrum included components at 2.027, 3.508, and 3.652 μ.
