  • Slice laser
    Patent number: 6134256
    Abstract: The performance of an RF excited gas laser having a discharge region with a generally curvilinear orthogonal cross-section, the shorter of the two dimensions of the discharge region cross-section being the spacing between non-conductive sidewalls which collisionally cool the discharge and are rotatable for guiding laser light, is enhanced by excitation field shaping. The field shaping includes use of a non-conductive member disposed between a high voltage field establishing electrode and a sidewall of the discharge region.

  • Retangular discharge gas laser
    Patent number: 5748663
    Abstract: A transverse RF pumped gas laser has a large area discharge which is of generally rectangular shape in all plan views. In cross-section the geometry of the discharge has a longer and a shorter dimension, the longer dimension being between the electrodes to which RF power is supplied and the shorter dimension, suitable for guiding intracavity laser light, being defined by ceramic side walls.
