Xenon monochloride (XeCl) is an excimer which is used in excimer lasers emitting near ultraviolet light at 308 nm. It is most commonly used in medicine. A notorious use was to produce a body image from the Shroud of Turin. The results suggest that a directional burst of ultraviolet radiation may have played a role in the formation of the image on the Shroud.Xenon monochloride was first synthesized in the 1960s.
