Gas lasers with reduced turn-on delay

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5036972
This patent describes a gas laser. It comprises: a hermetically sealed, elongated envelope enclosing a gaseous medium capable of supporting stimulated emission of radiation in response to an electric field impressed across the gaseous medium; means, including an anode and a cathode, for producing an electric field within the tube when externally energized; and a discharge confining, conductively-insulating capillary tube having a low surface conductivity and a bore extending between the anode and cathode.
