We describe a laboratory-scale, 109 nm Xe Auger laser pumped by an all-commercial, high repetition rate, Nd:YAG laser system. The Xe laser provides pulse energies up to 1 microjoule, and an average flux of 3x10E12 photons per second at 11.5 eV. Measurements of the gain, output energy, and output beam shape are reported, along with an investigation of the time dependence of the gain.
