During the past few years, the e-beam pumped rare gas halidc(RGH)lasers suchas KrF and XeCl have been shown to be efficient(5-10%),short wavelength(250-350nm)lasers which are volumetrically scalable(10-20J/l) when operated with pump pulseddurations τp>100 nsec. However, the presence of nonsaturating losses in the gain me-dium limits the laser output intensity to values in the range of 5-20 MW/cm~2. To util-ize RGH lasers for short pulse inertial fusion applications (τ_1～10 nsec), some methodof pulse compression of the RGH laser output waveform must bc implemented. Angle-coded multiplexing, backward wave Raman pulse compression,and“hybrid” combina-tions of these techniques have been developed and will be reviewed. The LLL e-beam
