Abstract:	The shape of the beam profile of a discharge excited XeCl excimer laser using a spiker-sustainer electrical circuit has been varied from a `bell¿-, through a `top-hat¿-, to a `camel-back¿-profile by varying the delay between the spiker pulse and the main-current with the circuit operating in the charge-mode. Fine-tuning of the beam profile can be done by varying the charging voltage of the main pulse forming network or the temperature of a gas purifier regulating the Xe and HCl partial pressures.
