Results of a preliminary experiment on excitation of 
gaseous active media by hard radiation of an uncontrolled thermonuclear 
explosion are presented. Pulsed lasing of an HF laser with an energy 
output of 10 kJ and efficiency of 3% 
and of an excimer XeF laser with an output of 1 kJ 
and efficiency of 9% with a pulse duration 
of 2 nsec is obtaned.
