Ultraviolet metal ion laser
A metal ion laser is described comprising: a cylindrical vacuum enclosure having a longitudinal axis that is coincident with an unobstructed longitudinal optical axis defined by a resonant optical cavity comprising two mirrors, one at each end thereof, one or both of which mirrors are employed to extract poser from the laser; a cylindrical magnetron sputtering source positioned coaxially with an adjacent to the cylindrical vacuum enclosure; two annular shaped cold cathodes each having diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the cylindrical vacuum enclosure and the two cylindrical anodes; power supply means electrically connected to the metal ion laser for causing the cylindrical magnetron sputtering source to sputter metal vapor from the cylindrical metal cathode tube and for creating rare gas ions.
